OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide both by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5:8 15/3 = 5 24/3= 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15/3 24/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5 to 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Example: If you had 3 red shirts, and 5 blue shirts, the ratio of red shirts to blue shirts would be 3:5, so can you figure out the answer now?
