Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question.

In the attachment, by comparison: we have:

[tex]a : b = 7.5 : 9[/tex]

Convert ratio to fraction

[tex]\frac{a}{b} = \frac{7.5}{9}[/tex]

Simplify the fraction

[tex]\frac{a}{b} = \frac{7.5/1.5}{9/1.5}[/tex]

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

Hence:

Base on the attachment, the solution to the question is:

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