5000 meters in 5 kilometers I'm pretty sure
<span>x : y is equal to 12 : 8. These can be reduced or cancelled down to 3 : 2 in the same proportions. Therefore, when y is 12, you have to multiply the smallest value y can be by 6, and must do the same to the smallest x value to retain the proportions. x = 18 when y = 12.</span>
1_1/3 = 4/3
-3_1/4 = -13/4
(4/3) - (-13/4)
(4/3) + (13/4)
We can see that (4/3) + (13/4) leads to a positive answer.
