Answer:
- The ratio between both number = 2 :3.
Given :
- If 40 % of a number is subtracted from the second number then the second number is reduced to its 3/5.
To find :
- The ratio between the first number and the second number =?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be "x".
Then, the second number be "y".
According to the question :
40% of x = 3/5y [Given]
∴ 40/100x = 3/5y
2/5x = 3/5y
x/y = 2/5 × 5/3
x/y = 10/15
x/y = 2/3
Thus, The ratio between both number = 2 :3.
