If 45% of a certain number is equal to 6/5th of another number, what is the ratio between the numbers ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the numbers be x, y
Given, 45% of x = $\frac{6}{5}$ of y
$\frac{9}{20}$ of x = $\frac{6}{5}$ of y
Thus, $\frac{x}{y}$ = $\frac{8}{3}$
or x : y = 8 : 3
