Question 54
If 60% of a number is equal to $$\frac{3}{7}$$ of another number, then what is the ratio of the two numbers?
Solution
Let's assume the first number is 'y' and another number is 'z'.
If 60% of a number is equal to $$\frac{3}{7}$$ of another number.
$$60\%\ of\ y=\ \frac{3}{7}\times\ z$$
$$\frac{60}{100}\times\ y=\ \frac{3}{7}\times\ z$$
$$\frac{3}{5}\times\ y=\ \frac{3}{7}\times\ z$$
$$\frac{1}{5}\times\ y=\ \frac{1}{7}\times\ z$$
$$\frac{y}{z}=\ \frac{5}{7}$$
Ratio of the two numbers = 5:7
