Answer 2

Option C - 7 to 22.96

Explanation:

Given : Sierra found that 15 meters is equivalent to 49.2 feet.

To find : Which of the following is an equivalent ratio?

Solution :

Sierra found that 15 meters is equivalent to 49.2 feet.

So, The ratio of the given situation is

`(15)/(49.2)=0.3048`

Now, We check one by one

A) 3 to 8.84

`(3)/(8.84)=0.3393`

B) 5 to 18.22

`(5)/(18.22)=0.2744`

C) 7 to 22.96

`(7)/(22.96)=0.3048`

D) 9 to 25.32

`(9)/(25.32)=0.3554`

Therefore, The correct option which is equivalent is Option C.

So, An equivalent ratio is 7 to 22.96.
