4 0

Answer:

Because 20 has to be doubled to become 40. While 40 is twice as much as 20 so you just divide 40 by 20 to get 50%.

Explanation:

20 x 20 = 40 = 100%

40 / 20 = 50%

X/5=2/3=5/y 2/3 4/9 1

Mademuasel [1]

$\frac{x}{5}= \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{y}$
Break the equation into parts;
$\frac{x}{5} = \frac{2}{3} ; \frac{2}{3}= \frac{5}{y}$
Solving for x;
$\frac{x}{5} = \frac{2}{3}$
x= $\frac{10}{3}$
Solving for y;
$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{y} 
y= \frac{3*5}{2} 
y= \frac{15}{2}$
$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{10/3}{15/2}$
$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{15}$
