Answer: We have to write the fraction in the lowest terms, by dividing it by the common factor:


(35)/(45)

The common factor for both numerator and the denominator is 5, therefore, after dividing by it, the new fraction becomes:


(35)/(45)=((35)/(5))/((45)/(5))=(7)/(9)

The answer, therefore, is Option(A).
