Answer:

1 : 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio expresses the relationship between two or more numbers. It shows the frequency of the number of times that one value is contained within other value(s).

2(x-y)=3y

divide both sides of the equation by 2

x - y = 3y/2

x - y = 1.5y

combine like terms together

x = 1.5y + y

x = 2.5y

ratio of x : y

1 : 2.5
