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
x:y :: 5:3
