Harry is making bouquets of balloons. he makes the bouquets so that 2 out of every 5 balloons are red. which equation correctly compares the number of balloons he uses, x, to the number of red balloons, y?

a. y=2/3 x
b. y=2/5 x
c. y=3/2 x
d. y=5/2 x

***will give brainliest answer***

B. y=2/5 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer the question we have to analyze the information given:

Since 2 out of every 5 balloons are red, the ratio for red balloons is equal to 2/5. if we multiply that ration by the number of balloons he uses (x), we will obtain the number of red balloons (y).

Mathematically speaking:

y=2/5 x

The correct option is B.
