Let's break down the problem to find all the ratios equivalent to 5:4. 

A ratio is equivalent to another if it can be simplified or scaled to the same form. For 5:4:

- **20:16**: Simplify this by dividing both numbers by 4.
  \[
\frac{20}{16} = \frac{5}{4}
  \]
  This ratio is **equivalent** to 5:4.

- **4:5**: This is the reverse of 5:4, so it is **not equivalent**.

- **15:3**: Simplify this by dividing both numbers by 3.
  \[
\frac{15}{3} = 5
  \]
  This ratio simplifies to 5:1, so it is **not equivalent**.

Thus, the only ratio equivalent to 5:4 is **20:16**.
