Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

A fraction consists of two parts: The numerator and denominator.

In order to simplify the fractions, we check that the numerator and the denominator are multiples of which same number.. For example, for the fraction 2/6, we observe that the numblerator and denominator both are a multiple of 2 so will be simplified to 2*1/2*3 = 1/3.

Now,

For the given fraction,

=>5/15

As we can easily see that both the numerator and denominator are a multiple of 5,

So

=> 5/15 = 5*1/5*3

The 5 in the numerator and denominator will be cancelled so the simplified fraction is 1/3..
