Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step Explanation:

1/2 * x = (1/3) * y

x / y = 1/3 / 1/2

x / y = (1/3) * 2 = 2/3

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 'x' students who like math and 'y' students that like science, we can formulate that:

Half of x likes math and science, and also one third of y likes math and science, so:

(1/2) * x = (1/3) * y

x / y = (1/3) / (1/2)

x / y = (1/3) * 2 = 2/3

So the ratio of the number of students who like math to the number of students who like science is 2/3
