Solve this equation like you would with any rational expression:
First, make the expression in line, such as:
(m^4/15)/(m^3/20)
Now flip the second fraction and multiply:
(m^4/15)*(20/m^3)
20m^4/15m^3
Now factor to get your final answer: 4m/3
The answer is 4m/3

This is a division of fractions, so invert the second one and multiply. It would be m^4/15 x 20/m^3. Divide top and bottom by m^3, leaving m on the top, divide 5 into the 15 and 20, leaving 4 on the top and 3 on the bottom. Final answer is 4m/3.

Your expression is equivalent to:
(m^4/15) * (20/m^3)
= 20m^4/15m^3
= 4m/3
= m*(4/3)
