Question

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

Answer 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;
$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{y} y= \frac{3*5}{2} y= \frac{15}{2}$
$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{10/3}{15/2}$
$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{15}$
