Question

Which ratio is equivalent to 5/9 A. 2/3 B. 4/5 C. 9/18 D. 15/27

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Note a fraction is in simplest form when no factor other than 1 will divide into the numerator/ denominator

A

$\frac{2}{3}$ is in simplest form and ≠ $\frac{5}{9}$

B

$\frac{4}{5}$ is in simplest form and ≠ $\frac{5}{9}$

C

$\frac{9}{18}$ can be simplified by dividing numerator/denominator by 9

$\frac{9}{18}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ in simplest form and ≠ $\frac{5}{9}$

D

$\frac{15}{27}$ can be simplified by dividing numerator/denominator by 3

$\frac{15}{27}$ = $\frac{5}{9}$ → D is the equivalent fraction

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x 5 = 15, 3 x 9 = 27. Therefore, 15/27 is equivalent to 5/9
