Question

The average of x and y is 3y/4. What is the value of x/y?

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y/2=3y/4

4x+4y=3y*2

4x+4y=6y

4x=6y-4y

4x=2y

2x=y than

x/y=1/2

Right answee

Answer 2

Answer:

Value of (x/y) = (1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Average of x and y = (x + y)/2

Now, according to the Question,

Average of x and y = 3y/4

Then,

(x + y)/2 = 3y/4

Cross multiplying we get,

4 × (x + y) = 2 × 3y

4(x + y) = 6y

4x + 4y = 6y

4x = 6y - 4y

4x = 2y

Then,

4x/y = 2

(x/y) = (2/4)

(x/y) = (1/2)

Hence,

Value of (x/y) = (1/2)
