Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2

In a list of 100 numbers , the fraction of numbers greater than 15 is (19/25) and the fraction of numbers less than 15 is (7/50)

Bingel [31]

19/25 * 100 = 1900/25 = 76 ....numbers greater then 15
7/50 * 100 = 700/50 = 14....numbers less then 15

100 - (76 + 14) = 100 - 90 = 10 <== numbers equal to 15
