Step 1:
Let's solve this step by step:

Step 2:
: To determine which fraction is equivalent to \frac{5}{6}, we need to check if the numerator and denominator of each option can be simplified to the same ratio.

Step 3:
: Let's simplify each fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).

- $$\frac{25 \div 5}{30 \div 5} = \frac{5}{6}
- GCF of 10 and 12 is 2 - GCF of 15 and 18 is 3 - GCF of 20 and 24 is 4 - GCF of 25 and 30 is 5

Step 4:
: We can see that all of these fractions simplify to \frac{5}{6}.

Final Answer

The correct answer is B. \frac{15}{18}, which is equivalent to \frac{5}{6}.
