The correct Answer is:
To find the fraction of the work that Suman completed, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of questions and the number of questions solved - Total questions = 15 - Questions solved by Suman = 5 ### Step 2: Write the fraction of the work completed - The fraction of work completed is given by the formula: \[ \text{Fraction of work completed} = \frac{\text{Questions solved}}{\text{Total questions}} = \frac{5}{15} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the fraction - To simplify \(\frac{5}{15}\), we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 5. \[ \frac{5 \div 5}{15 \div 5} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 4: State the final answer - Therefore, the fraction of the work that Suman completed is: \[ \frac{1}{3} \]
