Answer 2

Let Marianne's height be represented by = x

Jean-Luc’s height be represented by = y

Given is : 1/4 of Marianne’s height is equal to 2/5 of Jean-Luc’s height.

`(x)/(4)=(2y)/(5)`

We have to the ratio of Marianne’s height to Jean-Luc’s height i.e
`(x)/(y)`

So, ratio becomes :
`(x)/(y) =(2*4)/(5)`

`(x)/(y) =(8)/(5)`

Hence, x:y = 8:5
