Answer:


1(2)/(3)

Explanation:

Here, we are given an improper fraction
(15)/(9) so we will divide 15 by 9 and write it as a mixed number.

To divide 15 by 9, we will look for the greatest common factor for both the numerator and the denominator which can divide both the numbers at the same time.

So for these two numbers, the greatest common factor is 3 so we will divide 15 and 9 by 3 to get:


(15)/(3) = 5 and
(9)/(3)

so we get 5 as the numerator and 3 as the denominator (
(5)/(3)) which can also be written as a mixed fraction
1(2)/(3).
