Question

If $x$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ and $y$ = $\frac{50}{45}$ , then $\frac{x}{y}$ = _________

• A. 1 and -1
• B. 1 and 0
• C. -1 and 0
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

-1 and 0

Given that $x$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ and $y$ = $\frac{50}{45}$

$\frac{x}{y}$ = $x$ $÷$ $y$

= $\frac{2}{3}$ $÷$ $\frac{50}{45}$

= $\frac{2}{3}$ $\times$ $\frac{45}{50}$

= $\frac{15}{25}$

= $\frac{3}{5}$
