Y = X/5

Step-by-step explanation:

given

X : Y = 5 : 1

if we express this ratio in terms of fractions,

X/Y = 5/1 or,

X/Y = 5 (multiply both sides of the equation by Y)

X = 5Y (Divide both sides by 5)

X/5 = Y (rearrange)

Y = X/5

X : Y = 5 : 1Write the equation as a function of X

X : Y = 5 : 1
