Step 1

The decimal number, 0.15 contains 2 decimal places. Hence, we multiply 0.15 with 100 to remove the decimal point. This gives 15.

Step 2

After multiplying 0.15 with 100 , we need to divide the result, 15 with 100 so that this term remain equivalent to 0.15. By doing so, we get the fraction ¹⁵/₁₀₀. 

Step 3

Notice that this fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator with 5. This is shown below:

Step 4

After simplifying , we have ³/₂₀. This is the simplest fraction we can get.

Step 5

Clearly, the answer is A.
