Answer

$\dfrac{1}{p^{7/4}}$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{array}{ l c } =\dfrac{p^{3/4}}{p^{10/4}} & \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{Apply\ the\ rule}\\ \left( a^{m}\right)^{n} =a^{m\cdot n} \end{array}\\ & \\ =\dfrac{1}{p^{10/4} \cdot p^{-3/4}} & \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{Apply\ the\ rule}\\ a^{n} =\dfrac{1}{a^{-n}} \end{array}\\ & \\ =\dfrac{1}{p^{10/4-3/4}} & \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{Apply\ the\ rule}\\ a^{m} \cdot a^{-n} =a^{m-n} \end{array}\\ & \\ =\dfrac{1}{p^{7/4}} & \mathrm{Simplify.} \end{array}$
