Answer:

12 sweaters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are told that there are 5 shirts for every 4 sweaters

If there are 15 shirts

We want to find the number of sweaters

for 5 shirts there are 4 sweaters

for 15 shirts there are x sweater

Cross multiply

15*4= 5*x

60= 5x

divide both sides by 5

x= 60/5

x=12 sweaters

Hence there are 12 sweaters
