Question 197265: two-thirds of 5/6 of a number x is the same as 3/4 of 4/5 of a number y. what is the value of x/y as a fraction in lowest terms?

(2/3)(5/6)x=(3/4)(4/5)y
(10/18)x=(12/20)y
(5/9)x=(3/5)y
(5/3)(5/9)x=(5/3)(3/5)y
(25/27)x=y
y = (25/27)x
---------> x/y = x/[(25/27)x] = 27/25
Answer: x/y = 27/25
