If 6/x=y/8, what is the ratio of x:y if x>y?

The ratio x:y is 48/y²

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the given 6/x = y/8 and rewrite it as x/6 = 8/y (by inverting both ratios).  Either way, we get xy = 48 through cross multiplication.

Next, divide both sides of the above result by y²:

                    xy          48

xy = 48 =>    =

                    y²            y²

The ratio x:y is 48/y²

828. all there is to it!

here, if you ever need with rounding (or other forms of arithmetic/math) again, use this:

thats the rounding one, but if you just click the top left, it shows you all the calculators you may need!
