Question

Decided to upload a pic since it'd be confusing to write it out I got stuck about halfway

Answer 1

\[\frac{(m^4z^3)^{-2}}{(m^5z)^{-1}}\]?

Answer 2

yep :)

Answer 3

you can start any way you like, but maybe the simplest method is to flip everything and make the exponents positive

Answer 4

\[\frac{(m^5z)}{(m^4z^3)^2}\]

Answer 5

now multiply each exponent in the denominator by 2

Answer 6

\[\frac{m^5z}{m^8z^6}\]

Answer 7

then cancel away
\[\frac{1}{m^3z^5}\] will finish it

Answer 8

thanks! I had forgotten about the flipping around and was trying to do it the original way which was much more confusing

Answer 9

yeah sometimes it is not clear what is easiest to do first
