    See below.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Ratios work like fractions. First we write the two ratios as fractions.

    5/7 and 14/15

    We can find a common denominator for these two ratios.

    The LCD of the fractions is 7 * 15 = 105

    Since 105/7 = 15, we multiply 15 * 5 = 75 to find the numerator.

    5/7 = 75/105

    Since 105/15 = 7, we multiply 7 * 14 = 98 to find the numerator.

    14/15 = 98/105

    75/105 is not equal to 98/105, so 5/7 is not equal to 98/105
