1/4 of Marianne’s height is equal to 2/5 of Jean-Luc’s height. Find the ratio of Marianne’s height to Jean-Luc’s height.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent Marianne's height and 'y' represent Jean-Luc's height.
(1/4)x = (2/3)y multiply both sides by 4/y
x/y = 4*(2/3)
x/y = 8/3
The ratio of Marianne’s height to Jean-Luc’s height is 8 to 3.
