① | Step 1: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 2: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{m^3}{3n} \cdot \frac{-9n^2}{m^4} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{ m^3 \cdot \left( -9n^2 \right) }{ 3n \cdot m^4 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ -9m^3n^2 }{ 3m^4n } \end{aligned} $$ |
