Question

If `x/3=y/2`, which of the following is equivalent to `y/3`?

a)`color(white)(2..)x/6`

b)`color(white)(..)(2x)/9`

c)`color(white)(.2.)x/3`

d)`color(white)(..)(2x)/3`

e)`color(white)(.2.)x`

Answer 1

b) `(2x)/9`

Explanation:

If `x/3`=`y/2` then `2x = 3y` by simply multiplying by the 2 and the 3

To get from `3y` to `y/3` we need to divide by 9 so divide `2x` by 9
