for both cheeses you have to be able to multiply both the top and bottom with the same number, so for swiss yo multiply the numerator 5 by 3 and the denomintaor by 3 to get 15/24 and for the american you mutiply the numerator by 6 and the denominator by 6 to get 6/24. that makes them equivalent as you've multiplied both the numerator and denominator by the same number.
