Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio

The ratio of months to books is $\frac{15}{3} = 5$, meaning 5 months per book.

Step2: Calculate for 5 months

Let $b$ be books. $\frac{5}{b} = 5 \implies b = 1$.

Step3: Calculate for 6 books

Let $m$ be months. $\frac{m}{6} = 5 \implies m = 30$.

Answer:

For 5 months: 1 book; For 6 books: 30 months
