Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you can represent percentages as decimals, by dividing the percentage by 100. This gives us the fraction: $\frac{15}{100}$

We can simplify the fraction, by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5

$\frac{15}{100}=\frac{15\div5}{100\div5}=\frac{3}{20}$
