Answer:

decrease by 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{0.4x}{0.8y} =\frac{x}{2y}[/tex]      

Decreased by 60% = (100%-60%)x = 0.4x.

Decreased by 20% = (100%-20%)x = 0.8x.

[tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex] initial fraction, and we can see that denominator will increase 2 times, so fraction will decrease 2 times, or decrease by 50%.
