Lawson Frey · Answer 1

The answer is: D) 15/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of two given numbers such as X and Y is expressed by the symbol ':' Therefore, the ratio of X and Y or X:Y can be referred to as X is to Y and can also be expressed as a fraction X/Y or X:Y.

Therefore, the ratio can be expressed in a number of ways, 6:15 = 6 to 15 = 6/15

Whereas, 15/6 = 15:6 ≠ 6:15
