Answer:

5:2 , 30:12 , 60:24 , etc.

Explanation:

To identify ratios equivalent to 15:6, all you need to do is multiply or divide both numbers in the ratio by the same amount to find an equivalent ratio.

So, for example:

1:2 --> 1*2 : 2*2 = 2:4 Both one half, so equal.

Now for 15:6...

Let's divide by the least common denominator ( 3 )

15 / 3 and 6 / 3 = 5 and 2

So 15:6 = 5:2

And we can also multiply the ratio by any constant as well...

For example 15 * 2 and 6 * 2

So 30:12 = 15:6

Hope this helped!
