See a solution process below:

If we divide #180# by #5# we can determine how many shawls #1# person can weave in 12 days:

#180/5 = 36# Therefore, 1 person can weave 36 shawls in 12 days.

If we divide the 36 shawls by 12 days we can determine how many shawls 1 person can weave in 1 day:

#36/12 = 3# Therefore, 1 person can weave 3 shawls per day.

Now we can multiply this by 15 to find how many shawls 1 person can weave in 15 days:

#3 xx 15 = 45# 1 person can weave 45 shawls in 15 days.

Now we can multiply this by #6# to find out how many shawls 6 people can weave in 15 days:

#45 xx 6 = 270#

The answers in (C) 6 people can weave 270 shawls in 15 days.
