Solution Steps

To simplify the given expression, we need to apply the properties of exponents. Specifically, we will:

  1. Simplify the exponent in the numerator by multiplying the exponents inside the parentheses.
  2. Simplify the resulting expression by dividing the exponents of \(a\) in the numerator and the denominator.
Step 1: Simplifying the Exponents

We start with the expression

\[ \frac{\left(a^{7 / 5} b^{4 / 3}\right)^{5 / 14}}{a^{7 / 6}}. \]

First, we simplify the numerator by applying the exponent to both \(a\) and \(b\):

\[ \left(a^{7/5}\right)^{5/14} = a^{(7/5) \cdot (5/14)} = a^{1/2} \]

and

\[ \left(b^{4/3}\right)^{5/14} = b^{(4/3) \cdot (5/14)} = b^{20/42} = b^{10/21}. \]

Thus, the numerator simplifies to

\[ a^{1/2} b^{10/21}. \]

Step 2: Combining the Terms

Now, we rewrite the entire expression:

\[ \frac{a^{1/2} b^{10/21}}{a^{7/6}}. \]

Next, we simplify the exponent of \(a\) by subtracting the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator:

\[ 1/2 - 7/6 = \frac{3}{6} - \frac{7}{6} = -\frac{4}{6} = -\frac{2}{3}. \]

Thus, the expression becomes:

\[ a^{-2/3} b^{10/21}. \]

Step 3: Evaluating the Expression

Now we substitute \(a = 2\) and \(b = 3\) into the simplified expression:

\[ a^{-2/3} b^{10/21} = 2^{-2/3} \cdot 3^{10/21}. \]

Calculating each term, we find:

\[ 2^{-2/3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{4}} \quad \text{and} \quad 3^{10/21} \approx 1.062952686026326. \]

Thus, the final result is approximately:

\[ \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{4}} \cdot 1.062952686026326 \approx 1.0629. \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{1.0629} \]
