Considering the reaction $aG + bH \rightarrow \text{Products}$,when the concentrations of both reactants $G$ and $H$ are doubled,the rate increases by $8$ times. However,when the concentration of $G$ is doubled while the concentration of $H$ remains constant,the rate doubles. What is the overall order of the reaction?
