Answer: -She applied the exponent -2 to 4(-2) instead of applying the exponent to just -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work of Fatima is the next one:

She starts with the equation:

\frac{4m^{-3}n^{-2}  }{m^{-1}n^{2}  }

Now, she simplifies:

\frac{4m^{-3}n^{-2}  }{m^{-1}n^{2}  } = 4m^{-3 - (-1)} m^{-2 -1} = 4m^{-2} n^{-3}

Now she replaces the values of n and m:

4(-2)^{-2} (4)^{-3}

And here she makes her error, she transforms the:

4*(-2)^-2 into (-8)^-2

So the exponent that only was affecting the -2, is now affecting the product 4*(-2)

Then the answer is the third option:

"-She applied the exponent -2 to 4(-2) instead of applying the exponent to just -2."
