Question

Evaluate x/y for x=3/10 and y=4/5

Answer 1

(3/10) / (4/5)
= (3/10) x (5/4)
= (3x5) / (10x4)
= 15/40
GCF = 5 so divide numerator and denominators by 5
= 3/8

The answer is 3/8

Answer 2

`the\ vaule\ of\ (x)/(y)\ is\ (3)/(8).`

Explanation:

As given in the question

`x = (3)/(10)`

and

`y = (4)/(5)`

Than

`(x)/(y)=((3)/(10))/((4)/(5))`

Simplify the equation

`(x)/(y)=(3* 5)/(10* 4)`

`(x)/(y)=(15)/(40)`

Simplify the above

`(x)/(y)=(3)/(8)`

`Therefore\ the\ vaule\ of\ (x)/(y)\ is\ (3)/(8).`
