If 40 of a number is equal to two third of another number what is the ratio of first number

40% of x=2/3 of y
40/100x=2/3y
2/5x=2/3y
x/y=2/3 =>x:y=5:3

5:3, by trail and error method consider 100 40% of 100 is 40 and 60*2/3 so both are equal then 100:60 implies 5:3

let one number be x and other number be y.
(x*40)/100=(2/3)*y
so x/y=(2*100)/40*3=5:3

no. be x and y
40x/100=2y/3
i.e x/5=y/3 or x/y=5/3.
10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
40x/100= 2x/5
so given
2x/5=2y/3
x/y = (2/3)*(5/2)
x/y = 5/3

40/100*x=2/3*y
x/y=2/3*5/2
therefore: x/y=5/3

answer is 5/3
