2. Find A:B:C, when
(i) A: B = 6 : 5 and B: C = 7:8
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
) i) A : B = 6 : 5
B : C = 7 : 8
A : B = 6* 7 : 5 * 7 = 42 : 35
B : C = 7*5 : 8 * 5 = 35 : 40
Therefore,
A : B : C = 42 : 35 : 40
ii) A : B = 2 : 3
B : C = 4 : 11
A : B = 2 * 4 : 3 * 4 = 8 : 12
B : C = 4 * 3 : 11 * 3 = 12 : 33
A : B : C = 8 : 12 : 33
iii) A : B = 1/4 : 1/5 ( LCM of 4 and 5 is 20)
B : C = 1/7 : 1/6 ( LCM of 7 and 6 is 42)
A : B = 5/20 : 4/20
A : B = 5 : 4
B : C = 6/42 : 7/42
B : C = 6 : 7
A : B = 5 * 6 : 4 * 6 = 30 : 24
B : C = 6 * 4 : 7 * 4 = 24 : 28
A : B : C = 30 : 24 : 28
2) A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 5
B = 21
A : B = 2/3
A = 2/3 * B
= 2 * 21/3 = 14
B : C = 3 : 5
C : B = 5 : 3
C = 5/3 * B
= 5 * 21/3 = 35
3) 3 A = 4 B = 6 C
A/B = 4/3
B/C = 6/4
A/B = 4 * 2 / 3 * 2 = 8/6
A:B :C = 8 : 6 : 4
= 4 : 3 : 2
