Given 4w = 5x and 2x = 3G , find the ratio w:x:y
Oops! Sorry! 3G I mean.. Thanks!
I see no y
That's what you had .
Where is the y ???
did you mean:
4w = 5x, 2x = 3y ???
if so,
form 4w = 5x, ----> w = 5x/4
from 2x = 3y , ----> x = 3y/2
put this back into
w = 5x/4 = (5/4)(3y/2) = 15y/8
then w : x : y = 15y/8 : 3y/2 : y
= 15/8 : 3/2 : 1
= 15 : 12 : 8
Yes!! Aww thanks!! Sorry for the confusion I've made. Yes it's 3Y
To find the ratio w:x:y, we need to figure out the values of w, x, and y in terms of each other using the given equations.
Given:
4w = 5x ---(1)
2x = 3G ---(2)
From equation (1), we can express w in terms of x by dividing both sides by 4:
w = (5/4)x
Substituting the value of w in equation (2), we get:
2x = 3G
Divide both sides by 2:
x = (3/2)G
Now, let's express w and x in terms of y:
w = (5/4)x
w = (5/4)(3/2)G
w = (15/8)G
x = (3/2)G
Finally, let's express the ratio w:x:y:
w:x = (15/8)G : (3/2)G
To simplify, we can divide both terms by G:
w:x = (15/8) : (3/2)
To find the ratio w:x:y, we need one more equation relating y to w and x. Without any additional information or equations, we cannot accurately determine the value of y or the ratio w:x:y.
