Answer:

The second amount is 3.72

Explanation:

Given

First : Second = 8 : 3

First = 9.92

Required

Find Second

First : Second = 8 : 3

Substitute 9.92 for First

9.92: Second = 8 : 3

Express as fraction

(Second)/(9.92) = (3)/(8)

Multiply both sides by 9.92

9.92 * (Second)/(9.92) = (3)/(8)*9.92

Second = (3)/(8)*9.92

Second = 3.72
