Answer: 12x/20

Explanation:

Looking at 3x/5

The expression equivalent is 12x/20

The reason is this

12x/20

If you divide the 12x by 4

It will give you 3x

If you divide 20 by 4

It will give you 5

Therefore, you will still have 3x/5

Another way to look at it is this

3x/5= 0.6x

12x/20= 0.6x

Therefore, the final answer is b which is 12x/20
