I have examined the image. Let's work through the simplifications step by step for each fraction:

1. \( \frac{12a}{3} \):
   Simplify the coefficients:  
   \[
   \frac{12a}{3} = 4a
   \]

2. \( \frac{14ab^2}{2b} \):
   Simplify the coefficients and cancel common factors of \(b\):
   \[
   \frac{14ab^2}{2b} = \frac{14}{2} \cdot a \cdot \frac{b^2}{b} = 7ab
   \]

3. \( \frac{20b}{5b} \):
   The \(b\)'s cancel out, and simplify the coefficients:
   \[
   \frac{20b}{5b} = 4
   \]

4. \( \frac{50b^2c^2}{5bc} \):
   Simplify the coefficients and cancel common factors of \(b\) and \(c\):
   \[
   \frac{50b^2c^2}{5bc} = \frac{50}{5} \cdot \frac{b^2}{b} \cdot \frac{c^2}{c} = 10bc
   \]

5. \( \frac{35c^2}{7c} \):
   Simplify the coefficients and cancel a factor of \(c\):
   \[
   \frac{35c^2}{7c} = 5c
   \]

6. \( \frac{80ab^2c^3}{8b^2c^2} \):
   Simplify the coefficients and cancel common factors of \(b\) and \(c\):
   \[
   \frac{80ab^2c^3}{8b^2c^2} = \frac{80}{8} \cdot \frac{b^2}{b^2} \cdot \frac{c^3}{c^2} = 10ac
   \]

Let me know if you'd like further details or have any questions.
