See below.

Explanation:

To make the problem easier, let's simplify the denominators first.

(6+n)/60=15/90

We can multiply both sides by 30.

(6+n)/2=15/3

15/3=5

So,
(6+n)/2=5 and 6+n=10

Thus,

n=4.

The answer is 4

Explanation:

(6+n)/"60" = 15/90

      Eliminate fractions -- multiply the left by 90 and the right by 60.

540 + 90n = 900

      Subtract 540 from both sides.

90n = 360

      Divide by 90.

n = 4
