PLZ HELP 55 POINTS Two quantities, x and y, are related proportionally such that 3x=2y . Which equation shows the same proportional relationship? A x/y=3/2 B x/2=y/3 C x/3=y/2 D x/2=3/y

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

3x = 2y

One way to solve this is to simply plug in values. If we say the following:

x = 2

y = 3

Then, we can start testing.

A:
`x/y = 3/2`

by plugging 2 and 3 in, we see that A doesn't work.

B: x/2 = y/3

This works! First we should look at the other equations.

C: x/3 = y/2

Nope.

D: x/2 = 3/y

This also works, but only with certain numbers. If we were to make x = 4, and y = 6, this wouldn't work.

You could also find out all of this using algebra. so, our anwser is B.
