Respuesta :

15:5 and you can also say it as 3:1

Answer:  The required ratio is 3 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Juanita is 15 years old and her brother is 5 years old.

We are to find the ratio of Juanita's age to her brother's age.

Let x and y represents the ages of Juanita and her brother respectively in years.

Then, according to the given information, we have

[tex]x=15,\\\\y=5.[/tex]

Therefore, the ratio of Juanita's age to her brother's age is given by

[tex]x:y\\\\=\dfrac{x}{y}\\\\\\=\dfrac{15}{5}\\\\\\=\dfrac{3}{1}\\\\=3:1.[/tex]

Thus, the required ratio is 3 : 1.
