Step 2.1

Combine $- 5$ and $\frac{1}{n^{3}}$ .

$m^{4} \frac{- 5}{n^{3}} p^{0}$

Step 2.2

Combine $m^{4}$ and $\frac{- 5}{n^{3}}$ .

$\frac{m^{4} \cdot - 5}{n^{3}} p^{0}$

Step 3

Move $- 5$ to the left of $m^{4}$ .

$\frac{- 5 \cdot m^{4}}{n^{3}} p^{0}$

Step 4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$- \frac{5 \cdot m^{4}}{n^{3}} p^{0}$

Step 5

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$- \frac{5 m^{4}}{n^{3}} \cdot 1$

Step 6

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$- \frac{5 m^{4}}{n^{3}}$
