Answer 1

Answer:

I think 3:10 is correct answer . I can't sure

Answer 2

The compounded ratio is 8: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ratios are 2:5 & 3:4

To find:

the compounded ratio of both the given ratios

Solution:

A compounded ratio is when we compound two or more ratios together.

Let's take an example to understand better

a:b & c:d are the ratios

Now, the compounded ratio of both these ratios will be

ac: bd

Similarly, we try to find the compounded ratio for 2:5 & 3:4

$\frac{2}{5} :\frac{3}{4}$

$2 X 4 : 5 X 3$

$8 :15$

Thus, we can simply say that compounded ratio is the cross multiplication of the given ratios.

Hence, the compounded ratio of 2:5 & 3:4 is 8:15
