Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor, which is 5. Therefore,

\begin{align*}
\frac{10}{15} &= \frac{\cancelto{2}{10}}{\cancelto{3}{15}} \
&= \frac{2}{3}
\end{align*}

So, the best choice is A, which is $\frac{2}{3}$.
