Answer:

30 inches

Explanation:

The longest piece (15 in) is represented as 5 in the ratio, so we can find what one unit is. We can do 15÷5=3, so one unit is 3 inches. We could multiply each of them by 3 and add them up, but there's a simpler way. We can find the total of the ratio, 2+3+5=10. So, we can do 3x10=30 inches. Therefore, the length of the stick is 30 inches.
