Answer 2

C.
`(3* 3* 3)/(3* 3* 3* 2)`

Explanation:

In prime factored form, we write a number as a product of prime numbers that, when multiplied together, give you that number.

Also, prime number is a number which is only divisible by 1 and itself.

Here, the given number is,

`(27)/(54)`

Since, 27 = 3 × 3 × 3

Where, 3 is a prim number,

And, 54 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 2

Where, both 3 and 2 are prime numbers,

`\implies (27)/(54)=(3* 3* 3)/(3* 3* 3* 2)`

Option C is correct.
