Answer:

No

Explanation:

For this problem let the ratio stand for pages: minutes. Emeline can type at a ratio of 10:4. Simplify by dividing by the greatest common factor. In this case, that is 2. So, the final ratio is 5:2. Merle's ratio is 15:5. Simplify this ratio the same way, using 5 as the GCF, to make a final ratio of 5:3. Since 5:2 is not the same as 5:3, they are clearly not equal ratios.
