Step-by-step solution

First we need to apply the following formula:

a:(b×c)=a:b:c a:(b\times c)=a:b:c

Therefore, we get:

15:2:5= 15:2:5=

Now, let's rewrite the exercise as a fraction:

1525= \frac{\frac{15}{2}}{5}=

Then we'll convert it to a multiplication of two fractions:

152×15= \frac{15}{2}\times\frac{1}{5}=

Finally, we multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator, leaving us with:

1510=1510=112 \frac{15}{10}=1\frac{5}{10}=1\frac{1}{2}
