Question

Find y : x If (y - x) / x = 3 / 8
If (y - x) / x = 3 / 8, find y : x?

Answer 1

(y-x)/x = 3 So, y/x-1 = 3 So, y/x = 4 Or y:x =4

Answer 2

Answer:

y : x = 11:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :$\frac{y-x}{x}=\frac{3}{8}$

To Find : y: x

Solution :

$\frac{y-x}{x}=\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{y}{x}-\frac{x}{x}=\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{y}{x}-1=\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{y}{x}=\frac{3}{8}+1$

$\frac{y}{x}=\frac{11}{8}$

So, y : x = 11:8

Hence y : x is 11:8
