Question

$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{A}{15}$

The value of A is .

• A. 6
• B. 7
• C. 8
• D. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is D 9

An equivalent fraction of a given fraction can be obtained by multiplying/dividing its numerator and denominator by the same number (other than zero).

$\frac{3}{5}$

Here, the denominator is 5. To convert it into 15, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3 to get the equivalent fraction.

$\therefore \frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times 3}{5\times 3}=\frac{9}{15}$

Given,
$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{A}{15}=\frac{9}{15}$

$\Rightarrow A\to 9$

So, the missing number is 9.
