Answer:

1) 2/3

2) 5x/2

Explanation:

The fraction simplification process involves finding the largest common factor in the numerator and denominator, then dividing that from both.

1)


(8)/(12)=(2\cdot4)/(3\cdot4)=(2)/(3)\cdot(4)/(4)=(2)/(3)\cdot1 =\boxed{(2)/(3)}

__

2)


(15x^2)/(6x)=(5x\cdot3x)/(2\cdot3x)=(5x)/(2)\cdot(3x)/(3x)=(5x)/(2)\cdot1=\boxed{(5x)/(2)}
