    Missing part of the question:

    Let  x represent the length of the first piece. Write an equation that represents the ratio of the first piece of ribbon to the second piece. Be sure to define your variable or variable expressions.


    Answer:

    3x = 2y

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    x = first

    y = second

    Required

    Represent as an equation

    From the question, when x is divided by y, it gives ratio of 2 to 3.

    This implies that:

    \frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{3}

    Cross Multiply

    3x = 2y
