Given:

1/9 and 2/15

we are asked to find the least common denominator and also express each fraction using least common denominator.

The common denominator of 9 and 15.

The least common denominator of 9 and 15 is 45

We multiply 5 by 9 and 3 by 15

We multiply 1 by 5 and 2 by 3

5 x 1, 2 x 3

5 x 9 3 x 15

5/45, 6/45

Therefore, the correct option is the second option, which is 5/45, 6/45
