Answer
-7.5
Work Step by Step
We plug in 4 for m, -1/2 for p, and -1 for n as the instructions tell us to do:
$3 (-1)^{2} \times -10 (-1/2)^{2} \\\\ =3(1) \times -10(1/4) \\\\ =3 \times -2.5 =-7.5$
Note, we consider parenthesis and then exponents before multiplying to comply with order of operations.
