Answer:

$-\frac{3p^8}{4q^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6}}{-20p^{-12}q^{-3}}$ can be broken down into three fractions, coefficients, powers of p, powers of q.

$-\frac{15}{20}\cdot\frac{p^{-4}}{p^{-12}}\cdot\frac{q^{-6}}{q^{-3}}$

Simplify the first fraction, then simplify the others by subtracting numerator exponents minus denominator exponents.

$-\frac{3}{4} p^{-4-(-12)} q^{-6-(-3)} =-\frac{3}{4} p^8 q^{-3} = \alpha -\frac{3p^8}{4q^3}$
