The branching ratios are measured to be BR(tau- to 3h-2h+nutau) = 0.091+-0.014+-0.005% BR(tau- to 3h-2h+pi0nutau) = 0.027+-0.018+-0.007% where the first error is statistical and the second systematic.13 pages, LaTeX, 3 eps figures included, submitted to European Physical JournalHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentMeasurement of Tau Branching Ratios to Five Charged Hadronstext
