Mathematics for IGCSE & O level - Ratio And Proportion (Section 4 - No. 11)

Which of the following are true if the ratio of x:y is 4:7?

x is less than y

y is more than x.

y is 3/7 of x.

x = (4/7) * y

Since the ratio is 4:7, the second number (y) is bigger, thus more than x, so y is more than x and also x is 4/7 of y.
