I am having a problem with the following question:
If $$N = 3^P { } $$ and $$M=P-1$$ Then in terms of M what is $$ \frac{3}{N}=?$$
Any suggestions on which properties to apply ?

Simply substitute and use exponents' laws: $$N=3^P\,,\,M=P-1\Longrightarrow \frac{3}{N}=\frac{3}{3^P}=\frac{1}{3^{P-1}}=\frac{1}{3^M}$$
