I don't understand very well your question, but I see that 15 and 5 has a common divisor(which is 5) so you can divide both by it and you'd have then
$$3x²/x^{1/2}$$
so as you know when you have the same variable in the numerator and denominator with different exponents you subtract the the lower from the upper, and that leaves:
$$3x^{2-(1/2)}= 3x^{3/2}$$
