Answer:

2/3=10/15

3/5=9/15

Explanation:

In order to turn 2/3 and 3/5 using 15 as the common denominator, we must first find out how much we need to multiply the denominator by to get 15 and use that amount to also multiply the numerator. In 2/3 the 3 needs to be multiplied by 5, therefore we also multiply the 2 by 5 giving us the result of 10/15 for the 2/3 problem. For the 3/5 we use the same tactic. The 5 in 3/5 needs to be multiplied by 3 to get to 15, therefore we multiply the 3 by 3 as well to get 9/15.
