Answer:


(a)/(b) = (5)/(6)

Explanation:

See attachment for complete question.

In the attachment, by comparison: we have:


a : b = 7.5 : 9

Convert ratio to fraction


(a)/(b) = (7.5)/(9)

Simplify the fraction


(a)/(b) = (7.5/1.5)/(9/1.5)


(a)/(b) = (5)/(6)

Hence:

Base on the attachment, the solution to the question is:


(a)/(b) = (5)/(6)
