HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:  Choice C)  -3m^12n^6

Explanation:

The coefficients -24 and 8 divide to -24/8 = -3. Based on this alone, the answer is between choices B and C.

The m terms divide to $\frac{m^5}{m^{-7}} = m^{5-(-7)} = m^{5+7} = m^{12}$

Notice how I subtracted the exponents. The general rule is $\frac{a^b}{a^{c}} = a^{b-c}$

Since we get m^12, this points us to choice C as the final answer

For the sake of completeness, here's what the n terms divide to

$\frac{n^4}{n^{-2}} = n^{4-(-2)} = n^{4+2} = n^{6}$
