Answer 1

The required answer is $\frac{15}{-9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing $\frac{-5}{3}$ as a rational number whose numerator is 15.

If we multiply -3 with -5 then we get the numerator 15.

We have to multiply -3 in the denominator also.

$\frac{-5}{3} \times \frac{-3}{-3} \\\\= \frac{15}{-9}$

Hence, the required answer is $\frac{15}{-9}$
