Hello there!
12/15 and 8/10 don't have the same value.
Reason:
let's simplify both.
12/3 = 4
15/3 = 5
12/15 = 5/4
8/2 = 4
10/2 = 5
8/10 = 4/5
5/4 is greater than 4/5
5/4 > 4/5
Hope i helped!
Let me know if you need anything else!

Answer:
Each shirt costs 12 dollars.
Each pair of pants cost 40 dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let x represent the shirts </u>
<u>Let y represent the pair of jeans</u>
10x + 4y = $280
12x + 5y = $344
<u>Use elimination method to eliminate y</u>
• Multiply the entire first equation by 5.
• Multiply the second entire equation by -4.
5(10x +4y = $280)
-4(12x + 5y = $344)
50x + 20y = 1400
-48x -20y = -1376
2x = 24
x = 12
Each shirt costs 12 dollars.
<u>Solve for how much each pair of jeans costs.</u>
10(12) + 4y = 280
120 + 4y = 280
4y = 160
y = 40
Problem
Solution
for this case we know that when x =2/3 , y= 6
Then we want to find the value of y= ? when x= 10 1/3 = 31/3 and we can do this:
6/(2/3) = y/(31/3)
And solving for y we got:
y = (3/2) * 6 * (31/3) = 31*3 = 93
C. y= 93
