Answer:
a) 2:6 = 5:15
Step-by-step explanation:
Option A (2:6 = 5:15) is the correct option, with knowledge of equivalency of fractions, you will easily solve problems like this.
Let's solve it:
we must break all fractions to it's lowest term first.
2/6 = 1/3 (that is dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2)
2/2= 1
6/2 = 3
Hence 2/6 = 1/3 (proved!)
Let's move to the other fraction:
5/15 = 1/3
HOW?
Divide the numerator and the denominator by 5.
5/5 = 1
15/5 =3
Therefore 2:6 = 5:15 = 1/3
