Answer:

20ml : 6ml: 15ml

Explanation:

1000 milliters is 1 liter, so we would have to convert it to the ml so that it will all be in proportion. To simplify a ratio, divide by a number they can all be divided by. In this case, it was 10 first, so it made it 100: 30: 75. Then, to simplify it more, they can all be divided by 5, which is the lowest it can be since 20: 6: 15 have no numbers in common to be divided by.
