x:y=2:3 or x is two-third of y or y is three-half of x.
When 50 percent of one number is added to a second number, the second number increases to its four third.
Let one number be 'x' and second number be 'y'.
According to the statement,
50\%\text{ of }x+y=\frac{4}{3}y
Solving the equation,
\frac{50}{100}x=\frac{4}{3}y-y
\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{4y-3y}{3}
\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}
We get that x:y=2:3 or x is two-third of y or y is three-half of x.1
