a:b:c = 21:35:45
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
a:b =3:5, b:c= 7:9
Given that a:b=5:9 and b:c=4:7.
Here the common term is b which is found in both the ratios.
Ok now let’s look at the value of b in 1st ratio. It is 5. And 7 in the second.
Now we have to take the LCM of these two values so that we are changing the value of b into the LCM value in both the ratios. The LCM is 35.
So we change the value of b into 35 in the 1st and 2nd ratio. 5×7=35. So multiply the whole 1st ratio by 7 making a:b= 21:35
Similarly change the value of b as 35 in the second ratio. 7×5=36. Hence multiply the entire second ratio by 5 making b:c=35:45
Now that the value of b in both the ratio being same we can concatenate them. Hence a:b:c=21:35:45
