Answer:

We are given that the ratio of shirts to jeans is 5 : 2

This means that for every 5 shirts, we have 2 jeans

it also means that the number of shirts / number of jeans = 5 / 2

Since we are given the number of shirts,

we can easily find the number of jeans

(15) / (number of jeans) = 5 / 2

Number of Jeans = (15) * (2 / 5)

Number of Jeans = 6
