• A. $\frac{15}{16}$
• B. $\frac{16}{15}$
• C. $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{15}{16}$

Step-1: Factorize the numerator & denominator. Identify the common factors on the top and bottom. Cancel the common factors to get the lowest form of a fraction.

$\frac{15}{20}\times \frac{25}{20}=\frac{5\times 3}{4\times 5}\times \frac{5\times 5}{2\times 2\times 5}$

$=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{5}{4}$

Step-2: Multiply the numerators and denominators.
$=\frac{3\times 5}{4\times 4}$

$=\frac{15}{16}$
