Answer

$\dfrac{5(x+3)}{4(4x-5)}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression, $ \dfrac{\dfrac{x+3}{12}}{\dfrac{4x-5}{15}} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{x+3}{12}\div\dfrac{4x-5}{15} \\\\= \dfrac{x+3}{12}\cdot\dfrac{15}{4x-5} \\\\= \dfrac{x+3}{\cancel{3}\cdot4}\cdot\dfrac{\cancel{3}\cdot5}{4x-5} \\\\= \dfrac{5(x+3)}{4(4x-5)} .\end{array}
