Answer 2

Answer:

x:y=2:3 or x is two-third of y or y is three-half of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

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,

$\frac{50}{100}x=\frac{4}{3}y-y$

$\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{4y-3y}{3}$

$\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{1}{3}y$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}$

We get that x:y=2:3 or x is two-third of y or y is three-half of x.
