Question

Answer 1

Given:-

• If 40% of a number is equal to two third of another number.

⠀

To find:-

• Ratio of the first number to the second number.

⠀

Solution:-

Let,

• A and B be the two numbers such that.

⠀

According to the question,

→ 40% of A = 2/3 B

Now,

→ 40A/100 = 2B/3

→ 2A/5 = 2B/3

→ A/B = (2/3 × 5/2)

→ A/B = 5/3

→ A:B = 5:3

⠀

Hence,

• the ratio of the first number to the second number is 5:3.
