\(\frac{3}{5}\) inch = 400
1 inch = \(\frac{400*5}{3}\)
\(\frac{3}{2}\) inch = \(\frac{400*5}{3} * \frac{3}{2}\) = 1000
1 inch = \(\frac{400*5}{3}\)
\(\frac{3}{2}\) inch = \(\frac{400*5}{3} * \frac{3}{2}\) = 1000

400 / (3/5) = D / (3/2)
=> D ={ 400 / (3/5) } * 3/2
=> D = (400 * 5 *3) / (3 * 2)
=> D = 1000
=> D ={ 400 / (3/5) } * 3/2
=> D = (400 * 5 *3) / (3 * 2)
=> D = 1000
