Question

if x:y =8:9 and x= 6:5 then find y

Answer 1

_______________________________

x : y = 8 : 9

x / y = 8 : 9

x = y ( 8 : 9 )

since ,x = 6 : 5 , so now

( 6 : 5 ) = y ( 8 : 9 )

( 6 : 5 ) / ( 8 : 9 ) = y

( 6 / 5 ) / ( 8 / 9 ) = y

=> y = ( 6 / 5 ) ×( 9 / 8 )

y = 54 / 40

y = 27 / 20

therefore, y = 27 : 20

Your Answer : y = 27 : 20
