Answer:

Out of 15 deliveries in one week, 5 are plants

Explanation:

At an aquarium, 6 out of 18 deliveries are plants.

Ratio of plant to delivery is given by


r=(6)/(18) =(1)/(3)

Now we need to find out of 15 deliveries in one week, how many are plants.

Total number of plants is given by 15 r.


\texttt{Total number of plants = }15* (1)/(3)=5

Out of 15 deliveries in one week, 5 are plants
