Answer:
1) 2/3
2) 5x/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction simplification process involves finding the largest common factor in the numerator and denominator, then dividing that from both.
1)
[tex]\dfrac{8}{12}=\dfrac{2\cdot4}{3\cdot4}=\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot\dfrac{4}{4}=\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot1 =\boxed{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]

2)
[tex]\dfrac{15x^2}{6x}=\dfrac{5x\cdot3x}{2\cdot3x}=\dfrac{5x}{2}\cdot\dfrac{3x}{3x}=\dfrac{5x}{2}\cdot1=\boxed{\dfrac{5x}{2}}[/tex]
