  1. Answer:

    x = 12 and y = 32

    Step-by-step explanation:

    [tex]\frac{y}{25}=\frac{6.4}{5}\\\\\y=\frac{6.4}{5}*25\\\\y=6.4*5\\\\y=32[/tex]

    [tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

    Plug in the value of y

    [tex]\frac{x}{32}=\frac{3}{8}\\\\x*8=3*32\\x=\frac{3*32}{8}\\\\x=3*4\\\\x=12\\[/tex]
