As per the data given in the question,

In the above question, it is given that,

The given ratio is $\frac{15}{45}$  

We have to Express the ratio given in its simplest form.

Here we can divide both the numerator as well as denominator with GCD.

$=\frac{15}{45}$

Dividing numerator and denominator with 15, we get.
