15/12 in simplest form is 5/4 but 5/4 is an improper fraction so you have to turn it into a mixed number. You do do this by dividing 5 by 4. When doing this you get 1 1/4
15 3x 5 1 1/4
----- = ----- ----
12 3x 4 4)5
- 4
------
1
Hope this helps you!

5/4 because the numerator and denominator are both divisible by 3
