Verified step by step guidance

1. Start by understanding that two fractions are equivalent if they represent the same value when simplified or scaled.
2. Look at the given fraction \(\frac{3}{5}\) and the options: \(\frac{9}{15}\), \(\frac{6}{20}\), and \(\frac{15}{5}\).
3. To check if a fraction is equivalent to \(\frac{3}{5}\), see if you can multiply or divide both numerator and denominator of \(\frac{3}{5}\) by the same number to get the other fraction.
4. For example, multiply numerator and denominator of \(\frac{3}{5}\) by 3: \(\frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{9}{15}\), which matches one of the options.
5. Verify the other options by simplifying them or comparing their decimal values to confirm whether they are equivalent to \(\frac{3}{5}\).
