    Answer:

    It could possibly be: 2:15.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    #1. Convert the whole number 5 to a fraction with 1 in the denominator.

    We then have:

    2/3 : 5 = 2/3 : 5/1

    #2. Convert fractions to integers by eliminating the denominators.

    Least Common Denominator (2/3, 5/1) = 3

    We now have:

    2/3 : 5 = 2/3 : 15/3

    #3. Our two fractions now have like denominators so we can multiply both by 3 to eliminate the denominators.

    We then have:

    2/3 : 5 = 2 : 15

    #4. Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

    The GCF of 2 and 15 is 1

    #5. Divide both terms by the GCF, 1:

    2 ÷ 1 = 2

    15 ÷ 1 = 15

    The ratio 2 : 15 cannot be reduced further by dividing both terms by the GCF = 1 :

    Therefore:

    2/3 : 5 = 2 : 15

    Hopefully this makes sense!

    Have a great day! ^^
