hello

in the question, it's states that 15 baseballs weigh 75oz and how many baseball will weigh 15oz

let's equate this and solve it


\begin{gathered} 15\text{balls}=75oz \\ \text{xballs}=15oz \end{gathered}

cross multiply and solve for x


\begin{gathered} 15*15=75* x \\ x=(225)/(75) \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

therefore, 3 balls will weigh 15oz
