Hello!

We can represent each ratio as a fraction:

• Original: 15 to 49.2 = $\frac{15}{49.2}$
• 3 to 8.84 = $\frac{3}{8.84}$
• 5 to 18.22 = $\frac{5}{18.22}$
• 7 to 22.96 = $\frac{7}{22.96}$
• 9 to 25.32 = $\frac{9}{25.32}$

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

Convert

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

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