10 : ?

Step 2: Cross multiply

i.e. 10×3=30

30÷2=15

Answer 2

I believe the answer would be 15

Explanation:

This is because the ratio is 2 to 3 and you would divide it in half so you get one part then times it by three to get the second part of the ratio.

So it would be 10/2=5 then 5 times 3 to get 15. Therefore, 10 to 15
