Question

Given that a:b is 5:6 and a:c is 3:2, what is a:b:c?

Answer 1

$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

Ratio a : b = 5 : 6 (Given)

Ratio a : c = 3 : 2 (Given)

.

Given that "a" is common in both ratio, we make both the "a" the same:

Ratio a : b = 5 x 3 : 6 x 3 = 15 : 18

Ratio a : c = 3 x 5 : 2 x 5 = 15 : 10

.

Now that both the "a" is the same, we can combine the two ratio:

Ratio a : b : c = 15 : 18 : 10

.

Answer: a : b : c = 15 : 18 : 10

.
