Sagot :

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

x : y = 1 : 3

This can be also written as

[tex] \frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

Multiplying y on both the sides

[tex] = > \frac{x}{y} \times y = \frac{1}{3} \times y[/tex]

[tex] = > x = \frac{1}{3} \times y[/tex]

Hence , x is one-third of y
