You can put this solution on YOUR website! A drawing of a flea has a scale 15 : 1.
What is the real length of the flea if its length is 30 mm on the drawing?
-------------
It's either:
f:30::15:1 --> flea's length = 450 mm
A BIG flea, but too small for a member of the Chili Peppers.

Or
f:30::1:15 --> flea's length = 2 mm
Seems more likely.
