Solve 12m^-4 p^2/-15 m^3 p^-9

Evaluate

12 m^{- 4} \times \frac{p ^{2}}{- 15} m^{3} p^{- 9}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

12 m^{- 4} (- \frac{p ^{2}}{15}) m^{3} p^{- 9}

Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same

- 12 m^{- 4} \times \frac{p ^{2}}{15} m^{3} p^{- 9}

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

- 12 m^{- 4 + 3} \times \frac{p ^{2}}{15} p^{- 9}

Add the numbers

- 12 m^{- 1} \times \frac{p ^{2}}{15} p^{- 9}
