If there are 5 turtles for every 6 sea lions, then the ratio of turtles to sea lions is 5:6.
To find the number of turtles, we can set up a proportion:
5 turtles / 6 sea lions = x turtles / 18 sea lions
Cross multiplying, we get:
5 * 18 = 6x
90 = 6x
Dividing both sides by 6, we find:
x = 15
Therefore, there are 15 turtles if there are 18 sea lions.
