3/9

Step-by-step explanation:

15*4= 60 so 15/60 is equivalent to 1/4.

1/16 is just a smaller equivalent of 2/8 which is just a smaller equivaent of 1/4.

Answer 2

Answer:

3/9

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{4}{4}=\frac{4}{16}\\\\\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{8}\\\\\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{15}{15}=\frac{15}{60}$

We can turn 1/4 into all of the first three fractions by multiplying it by some version of 1, but we can't do the same for 3/9: trying to multiply 1/4 by 3/3 will get us a different fraction: 3/12. Additionally, 3/9 in lowest form is 1/3, and 1/3 is clearly not equal to 1/4.
