Answer:
10 : 21
Step-by-step explanation:
a : b = 2 : 3 and b : c = 5 : 7
First make the ratio parts of B equal, that would be my multiplying to make them the Lowest Common Multiple.
LCM of 3 and 5 = 15.
Hence, multiply the first ratio with 5 as 2 * 5 : 3 * 5 = > 10 : 15
Thus, multiply the second ratio with 3 as 3 * 5 : 3 * 7 = 15 : 21
Now, since A:B and B:C have common values, you can multiply the two ratios to get A:C.
A : B * B : C
=> 10/15 * 15/21
=> 10/21
Therefore, a : c = 10 : 21
Hope it helps!

a : b = 2 : 3 = 10 : 15 [ multiplying by 5 ]
b : c = 5 : 7 = 15 : 21 [ multiplying by 3 ]
Now, a : b : c = 10 : 15 : 21
So, a : c = 10 : 21
Your required answer is 10 : 21.
