Let's simplify the expression:
$$\frac{(mn^3)\cdot 2\cdot \frac{1}{m}\cdot \frac{1}{n^2}}{(2^{-1}m^{-1})\cdot (-3)\cdot (mn)^2}$$
We can simplify the expression by canceling terms that are in both the numerator and denominator, multiplying numbers, combining multiplied terms into a single fraction, and evaluating exponents.
Steps to solve:
**1. Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator:**
$$\frac{n^{3} \cdot 2 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{n^{2}}}{\left(2^{-1}m^{-1}\right)(-3)(mn)^{2}}$$
**2. Multiply the numbers:**
$$\frac{2n^{3} \cdot \frac{1}{n^{2}}}{\left(2^{-1}m^{-1}\right)(-3)(mn)^{2}}$$
**3. Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction:**
$$\frac{\frac{2n^{3} \cdot 1}{n^{2}}}{\left(2^{-1}m^{-1}\right)(-3)(mn)^{2}}$$
**4. Multiply the numbers:**
$$\frac{\frac{2n^{3}}{n^{2}}}{\left(2^{-1}m^{-1}\right)(-3)(mn)^{2}}$$
**5. Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator:**
$$\frac{\frac{2n}{1}}{\left(2^{-1}m^{-1}\right)(-3)(mn)^{2}}$$
**6. Divide by 1:**
$$\frac{2n}{\left(2^{-1}m^{-1}\right)(-3)(mn)^{2}}$$
**7. Evaluate the exponent:**
$$\frac{2n}{\left(\frac{1}{2}m^{-1}\right)(-3)(mn)^{2}}$$
**8. Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction:**
$$\frac{2n}{\left(\frac{1m^{-1}}{2}\right)(-3)(mn)^{2}}$$
**9. Multiply by 1:**
$$\frac{2n}{\left(\frac{m^{-1}}{2}\right)(-3)(mn)^{2}}$$
**10. Distribute exponent:**
$$\frac{2n}{\frac{m^{-1}}{2} \cdot (-3)m^{2}n^{2}}$$
**11. Re-order terms so constants are on the left:**
$$\frac{2n}{-3 \cdot \frac{m^{-1}}{2} \cdot m^{2}n^{2}}$$
**12. Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction:**
$$\frac{2n}{\frac{-3m^{-1}m^{2}n^{2}}{2}}$$
**13. Combine exponents:**
$$\frac{2n}{\frac{-3m^{1}n^{2}}{2}}$$
**14. The first power of a number is the number itself:**
$$\frac{2n}{\frac{-3mn^{2}}{2}}$$
**15. Eliminate quotient in denominator:**
$$\frac{2n \cdot 2}{-3mn^{2}}$$
**16. Multiply the numbers:**
$$\frac{4n}{-3mn^{2}}$$
**17. Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator:**
$$\frac{4}{-3nm}$$
**The final answer is:**
$$\frac{4}{-3mn}$$
