Here you go.

@iambatman would you be able to help me again?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

@chosenmatt would you be able to check this answer?

x to y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x }{ y }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/5 is correct

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

So I just eliminate the x and y to get 4:5? Ok, that's what I thought

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4x = 5y \implies \frac{ 5 }{ 4 } = \frac{ x }{ y }\] so you had it backwards, make sure to always check the algebra.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dang, I'm sorry.
