will give answer 9 on solving. Here, we will proceed by multiplying the number 15 to the numerator of the fraction

and then, we will be canceling the numbers according to the algebra this will give the lowest form of the given number.
Let the number which needs to be reduced to the lowest form and needs to be converted into a mixed fraction is given by

Now, equation (1) can be rewritten as under

In the equation above, the number 5 in the denominator of RHS will be divided by the number 15 in the numerator of RHS. This will cause the numerator to have the number 3 as a result.

The denominator of the above number 9, which is 1, is 1.

The above equation represents the lowest form of

The number 5 in the denominator of RHS of the above equation will be getting divided by the number 15 in the numerator of RHS of the above equation. This will result in occurrence of number 3 in the numerator.

This above number 9 is having number 1 as the denominator

The above equation represents the lowest form of

Also, the mixed fraction representation of any number which when expressed as a fraction having the denominator as 1 will be the same as the number.
Therefore, Lowest form of

Mixed fraction of

.
Hence, the correct answer is 9
