Answer:

7 to 22.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can represent each ratio as a fraction:

  • Original: 15 to 49.2 = [tex]\frac{15}{49.2}[/tex]
  • 3 to 8.84 = [tex]\frac{3}{8.84}[/tex]
  • 5 to 18.22 = [tex]\frac{5}{18.22}[/tex]
  • 7 to 22.96 = [tex]\frac{7}{22.96}[/tex]
  • 9 to 25.32 = [tex]\frac{9}{25.32}[/tex]

To find equivalent values, we can convert each fraction into a decimal by dividing them.

Convert

  • Original: [tex]\frac{15}{49.2} = 0.304878048780488[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{3}{8.84} = 0.339366515837104[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{5}{18.22} = 0.274423710208562[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{7}{22.96} = 0.304878048780488[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{9}{25.32} = 0.355450236966825[/tex]

The ratio of 7 to 22.96 is equivalent to the ratio of 15 to 49.2.

The answer is 7 to 22.96
