ANSWER:

Ratio of number of marbles with Shannon to number of marbles with tom is 5 : 6

SOLUTION:  

Given that,  

Tom has 18 tiger-eye marbles,

Shannon has 15 agate marbles

Ratio of Shannon's marbles to Tom's marbles = ?

Now, number of marbles with Shannon = 15

And number of marbles with tom = 18

So, ratio of Shannon's marbles to Tom's marbles = [tex]\frac{\text {no. of marbles with shannon}}{\text {no. of marbles with tom}}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{15}{18}[/tex]

Cancel by 3 in numerator and denominator, we get

[tex]= \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

The fraction [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] can be written in ratio as = 5 : 6

Hence, the ratio proportion is number of marbles with Shannon to number of marbles with tom is 5 : 6
