-15x cubed y cubed OVER -20xy to the 4th power

Assuming you mean:
%28%28-15x%5E3y%5E3%29%29%2F%28%28-20xy%5E4%29%29
:
we have a negative in the denominator and numerator, so the expression is +
%28%2815x%5E3y%5E3%29%29%2F%28%2820xy%5E4%29%29
:
Reduce the numerical fraction:
%28%283x%5E3y%5E3%29%29%2F%28%284xy%5E4%29%29
:
x into x^3; y^3 into y^4 leaving us with:
%28%283x%5E2%29%29%2F%28%284y%29%29
