Let $x,\,y$ be positive integers such that $\dfrac{7}{10}<\dfrac{x}{y}<\dfrac{11}{15}$. Find the smallest possible value of $y$.

(Sorry that my proof is not elegant.)
anemone said:Thanks for participating, Alexmahone! Your answer is correct!
I think as long as a solution led to the correct solution, it can be deemed as an elegant solution, no?

"Inequality Challenge II" is a research project aimed at studying and addressing economic and social inequalities in our society. It involves analyzing data, conducting experiments, and proposing solutions to mitigate inequalities.
Inequality is a pervasive issue that has a significant impact on individuals, communities, and societies as a whole. By addressing and reducing inequalities, we can create a more fair and just society where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive.
The project uses a multi-faceted approach to address inequalities. It includes analyzing data to identify patterns and factors contributing to inequalities, conducting experiments to test potential solutions, and proposing policy recommendations to reduce inequalities.
Anyone with a background or interest in research, economics, or social sciences can participate in "Inequality Challenge II". This includes scientists, researchers, policymakers, and individuals from diverse backgrounds.
The expected outcomes of "Inequality Challenge II" include a better understanding of inequalities and their underlying causes, evidence-based solutions to reduce inequalities, and policy recommendations for addressing inequalities at a larger scale.
