2/3x-40=5/6(x+36)

multiply each side by 6 to get rid of the fraction

6* 2/3x- 6*40=6*5/6(x+36)

4x -240 = 5(x+36)

distribute

4x-240 = 5x +180

subtract 4x from each side

-240 = x +180

subtract 180 from each side

-420 =x

Answer:

21:50

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the ratio of 420 m to 1 km.

We know that,

1 km = 1000 m

So,

The ratio becomes,

$\dfrac{420\ m}{1\ km}=\dfrac{420\ m}{1000\ m}\\\\=\dfrac{42\ m}{100\ m}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{50}$

So, the required ratio is 21:50.
