Answer:

6:15

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify the ratio 6 : 15 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCC of 6 and 15 is 3

Divide both terms by 3: 6 ÷ 3 = 2 & 15 ÷ 3 = 5

Reducing to simplest form:

6 : 15 = 2 : 5

Y varies directly as x when x= 3 and y =12 find y when x =12

andrew-mc [135]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we know that }
\begin{cases}
x=3\\
y=12
\end{cases}\implies 12=k3\implies \cfrac{12}{3}=k\implies 4=k
\\\\\\
thus\qquad \boxed{y=4x}
\\\\\\
\textit{when x = 12, what is \underline{y}?}\qquad \qquad y=4(12)$
