• B. $\frac{12}{16}$
• C. $\frac{15}{20}$
• D. $\frac{15}{24}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{15}{24}$

To obtain an equivalent fraction we need to multiply or divide the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by the same number.
Here, the given fraction is $\frac{5}{8}$.
Multiplying 3 with the numerator and denominator we get,
$\frac{5\times 3}{8\times 3}$ = $\frac{15}{24}$
Hence, option d is the correct answer.
