$\"x\"$ - the first number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y\"$ - the second number
\n" ); document.write( "40% of a number is $\"0.4x\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3\"$ of another number is $\"2%2F3\"$ $\"y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0.4x=2%2F3\"$ $\"y\"$ divide by $\"0.4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%282%2F3%29%2F%284%2F10%29\"$ $\"y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%282%2F3%29%2A%2810%2F4%29\"$ $\"y\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=5%2F3\"$ $\"y\"$ divide by y
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Fy=5%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%3Ay=5%3A3\"$ is the ratio of first number to the second number \n" ); document.write( "
