There are only two moving parts  4==> 10 and 6 ==> 15.  What ratio will do that?

BTW - Show your work.  Do NOT just post a question and start tagging.

Idk.. and uhh.. okay?

If you cannot identify a ratio between two numbers, you cannot solve this problem.  Prove it:

Ratio required to get from 1 to 3?
Ratio required to get from 6 to 3?
