1. **Problem 10:** Simplify \( \frac{a^3b^3}{xy^4} \div \frac{a^2b}{x^2y} \).
2. Division of fractions means multiplying by the reciprocal:
$$ \frac{a^3b^3}{xy^4} \times \frac{x^2y}{a^2b} $$
3. Multiply numerators and denominators:
$$ \frac{a^3b^3 \cdot x^2 y}{x y^4 \cdot a^2 b} $$
4. Group like terms:
$$ \frac{a^{3} b^{3} x^{2} y^{1}}{a^{2} b^{1} x^{1} y^{4}} $$
5. Simplify by subtracting exponents:
$$ a^{3-2} b^{3-1} x^{2-1} y^{1-4} = a^{1} b^{2} x^{1} y^{-3} $$
6. Rewrite negative exponent:
$$ a b^{2} x \frac{1}{y^{3}} = \frac{a b^{2} x}{y^{3}} $$

7. **Problem 11:** Simplify
$$ \frac{\frac{4x}{x+6}}{\frac{x^{2} - 3x}{x^{2} + 3x - 18}} $$
8. Division of fractions means multiply by reciprocal:
$$ \frac{4x}{x+6} \times \frac{x^{2} + 3x - 18}{x^{2} - 3x} $$
9. Factor polynomials:
- \( x^{2} + 3x - 18 = (x+6)(x-3) \)
- \( x^{2} - 3x = x(x-3) \)
10. Substitute factors:
$$ \frac{4x}{x+6} \times \frac{(x+6)(x-3)}{x(x-3)} $$
11. Cancel common factors \( (x+6) \) and \( (x-3) \):
$$ \frac{4x}{\cancel{x+6}} \times \frac{\cancel{x+6} \cancel{(x-3)}}{x \cancel{(x-3)}} $$
12. Simplify:
$$ \frac{4x}{1} \times \frac{1}{x} $$
13. Cancel \( x \):
$$ \frac{\cancel{4x}}{1} \times \frac{1}{\cancel{x}} = 4 $$
**Final answers:**
- Problem 10: $$ \frac{a b^{2} x}{y^{3}} $$
- Problem 11: $$ 4 $$
