Question

Find the ratio of x to y. 2/3 4/9 1

Answer 1

= 4/9

Explanation:

2/3 to the averall of 2/3 ans we got 5/y

sp ab- x/5 = 4/9

Answer 2

`(x)/(y)` =
`(4)/(9)`

Explanation:

Given

`(x)/(5)` =
`(2)/(3)` =
`(5)/(y)`

This can be expressed in 2 parts as

`(x)/(5)` =
`(2)/(3)` ( cross- multiply )

3x = 10 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x =
`(10)/(3)`

and

`(2)/(3)` =
`(5)/(y)` ( cross- multiply )

2y = 15 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y =
`(15)/(2)`

Thus

`(x)/(y)` =
`((10)/(3) )/((15)/(2) )` =
`(10)/(3)` ×
`(2)/(15)` ( cancel 10 and 15 by 5 )

`(x)/(y)` =
`(2)/(3)` ×
`(2)/(3)` =
`(4)/(9)`
