Answer: Earth's Moon

Step-by-step explanation: Ratios can also be made into fractions. So 120:20 is like 120/20. 150:28 is like 150/28. When you divide both the denominator and the numerator by the denominator, Earth's moon fraction is 6/1 while Jupiter's moon fraction is rounded to 5.36/1. Hope this helps!
