I'm looking for the answer and I'm in grade 6.

It's a simple multiplication exercise.

so ratio is 2:6
you want 5:x

Can you work it out from here?

I don't know why but I don't get it. Can you please explain further?

OK I'll give you the next stage, but from there you will have to work it out for yourself.

so from 2:6 = 5:x
therefore
5/2 = x/6

So now work it through..
