Answer:3/16

Step-by-step explanation:15/20 x 1/4

The numerator (the upper number) would divide the denominator (the lower number) or the denominator would divide the numerator.

15/20 x 1/4

15 and 20 have something in common which is 5.so 5 in 15 is 3,5 in 20 is 4

15/20 x1/4

3/4 x 1/4

= 3/16

Answer:

3/16

Explanation:

All we have to do is multiply the top with the top and the bottom with the bottom:

15(1) = 15

20(4) = 80

15/80

We have our answer, but we can simplify it by dividing top and bottom by 5:

15/5 = 3

80/5 = 16

We have our final answer, 3/16.
