Question

Help Nancy choose the lowest form of the given fraction: $\frac{5}{15}$

• A. $\frac{7}{8}$
• B. $\frac{14}{28}$
• C. $\frac{2}{6}$
• D. $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{1}{3}$

The given fraction, $\frac{5}{\mathrm{15,}}$ is not in its lowest form because both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by a number, 5.

Let's divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5.

We will have $\frac{1}{3}$. We cannot divide it further, which means that the fraction is in its lowest form.
