Answer: Choice B) 3/5

==================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller horizontal side is JM = 15
The larger horizontal side is NQ = 25

The ratio of these corresponding sides is:
small/large = 15/25 = (5*3)/(5*5) = 3/5

----------------

Alternatively,

The smaller vertical side is ML = 18
The larger vertical side is QP = 30

The ratio of these corresponding sides is:
small/large = 18/30 = (6*3)/(6*5) = 3/5

----------------

Either way, the answer is 3/5
