Answer:

Hello here is my answer

Explanation:

The 2 ratios are 15:10 and 10:15

multiply the numbers of the first ratio with the last number if the second ratio, which means,

15*15=225

10*15=150

we get 225:150

now we multiply the numbers of the second ratio with the last number if the first ratio.which means,

10*10=100

15*10= 150

now compare bot of them

225:150::100:150

we see that 225:150>100:150

hence proven that 15:10 is not equal to 10:15
