Documenting Exponent Procedures for Data Reports

In a professional data report, you are asked to document the procedure for simplifying a ratio of variable powers where the larger exponent is in the denominator, such as b8b12\frac{b^8}{b^{12}}. Describe the specific steps of the Quotient Property for Exponents used in this situation. In your description, be sure to state what value remains in the numerator and where the simplified base and its exponent are positioned in the final fraction.
