Question

If 40 percent of a number is equal to two third of another number

Answer 1

Answer:

x:y :: 5:3

Step-by-step explanation:

let sat two numbers are x and y
40% of one number = (40/100)x
two third of another number = (2/3)y
both are equal
so
(40/100) x  = (2/3)y

as 40 = 20×2 & 100=20×5
so cancelling 20 from denominator and numerator

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

cancelling 2 from LHS and RHS

(1/5)x = (1/3)y

x/5 = y/3

3x = 5y

x/y = 5/3

x:y :: 5:3
