Answer 1

b. 2/3

Explanation:

Given the fraction:

`(18)/(27)`

We can write each of the numbers as a product below:

`(18)/(27)=(2*9)/(3*9)`

Next, cancel the common number, 9:

`(18)/(27)=\frac{2*\cancel{9}}{3*\cancel{9}}=(2)/(3)`

The simplified form of the fraction is 2/3.

Option B is correct.
