Final answer:

The fraction 6/5 is already in its simplest form, so the solution to the question is option a) 6/5, as it cannot be simplified any further.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student asked which fraction represents the solution to 6/5 in simplest form. To find the simplest form of a fraction, we look for a version of the fraction that cannot be simplified any further, meaning it has no common factors in the numerator and denominator other than 1. Given the options a) 6/5, b) 3/5, c) 12/10, and d) 24/20, we immediately identify that 6/5 is already in simplest form because there are no common factors besides 1 that can divide both 6 and 5. Therefore, the answer is a) 6/5. We can also note that 12/10 and 24/20 can be reduced to 6/5 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor. However, 3/5 cannot be the solution as it represents a different quantity.
