Math Problem Statement

(x/46.3)*6=(y/32.48)*5

Solution

Let's solve the equation x46.36=y32.485\frac{x}{46.3} \cdot 6 = \frac{y}{32.48} \cdot 5 for either xx or yy.

Step 1: Simplify the equation

We can multiply both sides by 46.3 and 32.48 to remove the denominators: 6x=5y46.332.486x = 5y \cdot \frac{46.3}{32.48}

Step 2: Isolate either xx or yy

Let's isolate xx: x=5y46.3632.48x = \frac{5y \cdot 46.3}{6 \cdot 32.48} Now we can simplify this expression further: x=231.5y194.88x = \frac{231.5y}{194.88} So the simplified equation for xx is: x=1.1878yx = 1.1878y

Final result:

The relationship between xx and yy is: x=1.1878yx = 1.1878y Alternatively, you could express yy in terms of xx: y=x1.1878y = \frac{x}{1.1878}
