Length: 4 2 10
Width: 6 3 15

You can tell because 15 isn't divisible by 6, but it is divisible by 3, which goes into 6.

Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.

To keep the ratio, we must also divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

Then, multiply 3 by 5 to get 15 for the width.

You must also multiply 2 by 5 to get the length of 10.

The picture's dimensions will be 10"x15".
