That is not a rational expression. It is a rational number.
-30/75 = (-2)(15)/(15)(5)
Cancel out the 15's from numerator an denominator to get -2/ 5
-30/75 = -2/5
A rational expression is a polynomial divided by a polynomial, where the value of the denominator polynomial is not 0.
A rational number is a number of the form p/q, where p and q are integers, and q is not 0

find a number that can both be divided into for example 15. -30/ 15 = -2 and same for 75. 75/ 15 = 5. So the answer is -2 ( line ) 5, -2/5 ( not dividing )

-30/75
= - 6/15
= - 2/5
= -0.4
keep the negative sign as it is. in the first step the numbers are divided by 5, then by 3.

-30 / 75 = - (5 x 6) / (5 x 15) = - 6/15 (cancelling the 5 in the numerator and denominator)
- 6/15 = - 2x3 / 5 x 3 = - 2 /5 (since 3 gets cancelled)
S0, - 30 / 75 = - 2 /5

Divide top and bottom by 15 (which is the same as dividing by 1)
And you get (- 2) /( 5).
Pretty simple really.

divide both numerator and denominator by 15..
then it reduces to -2/5.

its -2/5
all you do is divide the top and bottom number by 15
and a negative divided by a positive is a negative
