Answer:

The first two pieces are in the ratio 3:5. Their weight can be taken as 3x gms and 5x gms respectively.

Of these two 5x gms piece is further divided in the ratio 5:7

So these pieces will be (5/12)5x and (7/12)5x

= (25/12)x gms and (35/12)x GMs.

The ratio of all the three pieces is

3x : (25/12)x : (35/12)x

Multiply by 12 throughout

36x: 25x: 35x= 36:25:35

So, the ratio of all the three pieces is 36:25:35
