Answer:


(15)/(16)

Explanation:


(5)/(4)\cdot \:3\cdot (1)/(4)


\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}:\quad \:3=(3)/(1)


=(5)/(4)\cdot (3)/(1)\cdot (1)/(4)


\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad (a)/(b)\cdot (c)/(d)=(a\:\cdot \:c)/(b\:\cdot \:d)


=(5\cdot \:3\cdot \:1)/(4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4)


\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:5\cdot \:3\cdot \:1=15


=(15)/(4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4)


\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4=16


(15)/(16)

Hence, 15/16 is the correct Answer.
