Question 331106: Rationalize the denominator. Assume that all expressions under radicals represent positive numbers.
-√(25/12)
Need to know if I am on hte right track in solving this problem
=-√25/√12
= - (√25∙√12)/(√12∙√12)
= - √300/12
= - (5√60)/12

You were doing great until you got a little balled up trying to simplify 
Go back one step:
Do the denominator but leave the numerator alone for the moment:
Now, 
, so:
And since 
, we can write:
and we're done.
