Answer:
15:11 or 1.36:1

Step-by-step explanation:
Ratios are created by division. In this case, male penguins would be divided by the amount of female penguins. This gives us 15/11. Depending on your teacher, you can leave the ratio like this (it is the same as 15:11). If your teacher wants you to simplify, the answer would be 1.36/1 (1.36:1).
Hope this helps!
