Question

\\(\frac{15}{5}\\)

write the fraction as a whole number.
\\(\frac{15}{5} = \boxed{?}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fraction to whole number conversion

To convert a fraction \(\frac{a}{b}\) (where \(a\) is divisible by \(b\)) to a whole number, we perform the division \(a\div b\). Here, \(a = 15\) and \(b = 5\).

Step2: Perform the division

Calculate \(15\div5\). We know that \(5\times3 = 15\), so \(15\div5=3\).

Answer:

\(3\)
