x:y:675=3:7:13

Rule:

if

a:b:c = d:e:f

then 

a%2Fd%7D%7D+=+%7B%7B%7Bb%2Fc = c%2Ff

-----------------------------

Using the rule,

x:y:675 = 3:7:13

x%2F3%7D%7D+=+%7B%7B%7By%2F7 = 675%2F13

Solve this to get x:

x%2F3 = 675%2F13

x = 2025%2F13

Solve this to get y:

y%2F7 = 675%2F13

y = 4725%2F13
