Answer 2

`(1)/(2)` (one-half)

Explanation:

Given: Fraction is
`(15)/(24)`

To find: the correct option

Solution:

A fraction represents part of a whole.

An improper fraction is a fraction in which numerator is greater than the denominator and a proper fraction is a fraction in which numerator is less than the denominator.

`(1)/(2)=(1* 12)/(2* 12)=(12)/(24)< (15)/(24)\\(7)/(8)=(7* 3)/(8* 3)=(21)/(24)> (15)/(24)\\(19)/(24)> (15)/(24)\\(6)/(8)=(6* 3)/(8* 3)=(18)/(24)> (15)/(24)`

So, ratio
`(1)/(2)` is less than the given fraction
`(1)/(2)`
