Answer 1

Answer:

he 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.
