Question

If A:B = 5:8 and B: C = 16:25, find A:C.​

Answer 1

Gɪᴠᴇɴ:

• A : B = 5 : 8
• B : C = 16 : 25

Fɪɴᴅ:

• A : C

Sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ:

➥ ( A / B ) = ( 5 / 8 ) and ( B / C ) = ( 16 / 25 )

➥ ( A / B ) × ( B / C ) = ( 5 / 8 ) × ( 16 / 25 )

➥ ( A / C ) = ( 2 / 5 )

➥ A : C = 2 : 5

• Hence, the value of A : C is 2 : 5.
