This expression can be simplified using properties of exponents. That is, if both the denominator and the numerator are one term, or if there is a common variable between both the numerator and denominator (e.g (f^2(5h+4k))/(f(2k+5h)), the shared variable on both sides of the division bar can be cancelled out.

In the example earlier, the f^2 in the numerator will become f and the denominator's f will cancel out: (f(5h+4k))/((2k+5h))

In your specific equation, the final answer will be

(-3f^2g^3h)/2
