Question
Fill in the blanks:
If 2x = 5y, then x : y = ......
If 2x = 5y, then x : y = ......
✓
Answer
If 2x = 5y, then x : y = 5 : 2.
It is given that,
2x = 5y ...... (1)
Now,
2x = 5y
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}}{2\text{y}}=\frac{5\text{y}}{2\text{y}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}=\frac{5}{2}$
Hence, x : y = 5 : 2.
