Question

Given x:y= 2:3. Find the value of x when y = 7.5
​

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

• Given x:y= 2:3. Find the value of x when y = 7.5

we solve with an equation by replacing "y" with "7.5".

x : y = 2 : 3

x : 7.5 = 2 : 3

x = 7.5 x 2 : 3

x = 15 : 3

x = 5

check

5 : 7.5 = 2 : 3

0.66 = 0.66

the answer is good

Answer 2

Answer: x= 5

Explanation:

2/3= x/7.5 (Cross multiplication)

=15= 3x

= 5=x
