HOBr + HBr --> H2O + Br2 is the balanced equation.
as an ionic equation:
2 H^+1 + BrO^-1 + Br^-1 --> H2O + Br2
the coefficients are both one.

First, there is something wrong with your equation. Which are the products and which are the reactants. In any case, the coefficients are 1 for BrO- and 1 for Br-. If the answer is 1 and 5, then, there is either something wrong with the given - missing reactant or product or just copied wrong or the answer 1,5 is wrong.
Please double-check.
