If 40% of a number is equal to two-thirds of another number, what is the ratio of the first number to the second number?

Topic: Percentages
Subtopic: Ratio Comparison

A2 : 5

B3 : 5

C5 : 3

D5 : 2

Explanation

Let numbers be A and B. 0.40 * A = (2/3) * B => (2/5) * A = (2/3) * B => A / B = (2/3) / (2/5) = 5 / 3. Ratio = 5 : 3.
