The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the equation given in the question: \[ \frac{4}{3} P = \frac{2}{3} Q \] ### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions To eliminate the fractions, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3. This gives us: \[ 3 \cdot \frac{4}{3} P = 3 \cdot \frac{2}{3} Q \] This simplifies to: \[ 4P = 2Q \] ### Step 2: Rearranging the equation Next, we can rearrange the equation to express \(P\) in terms of \(Q\): \[ 4P = 2Q \implies P = \frac{2Q}{4} \] This simplifies to: \[ P = \frac{Q}{2} \] ### Step 3: Finding the ratio \(P:Q\) Now we can express the ratio \(P:Q\): \[ P:Q = \frac{Q}{2}:Q \] To express this in a simpler form, we can divide both parts of the ratio by \(Q\): \[ P:Q = \frac{1}{2}:1 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ P:Q = 1:2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the ratio \(P:Q\) is: \[ \boxed{1:2} \] ---
