First remove "y" and its corresponding number to find "x" then remove "x" and its corresponding number to get "y".
When we remove "y" we also remove "9/2" corresponding number as it is equivalent so equation becomes
x:3=15/4:9/2
x÷3=15/4÷9/2
x/3=15/4×2/9
x/3=5/6(after solving above right hand side)
x=5/6×3
x=5/2 or 2-1/2 (in proper fraction)
Now again
When we remove "x" we also remove "15/4" corresponding number as it is equivalent so equation becomes
3:9/2=9/2:y (ratio means ÷)
3÷9/2=9/2÷y
3×2/9=9/2×1/y
6/9=9/2y
Cross multiply
6(2y)=9×9
12y=81
÷ both sides by 12
y= 81/12(table of 3 used to cut fractions. We use HCF to find common too)
y=27/4 or 6-3/4(proper fraction).
