Question

If A : B = 8 : 17 and B : C = 9 : 5, find A : C​

Answer 1

Answer:

A : C = 72 : 85

Step-by-step explanation:

A : B =  8 :17

B : C = 9 : 5

Now equal the B by multpliying

A : B  = ( 8 : 17 ) x 9 =  72 : 153

B : C =  (9 : 5) x 17 = 153 : 85

Now A : B : C = 72 : 153 : 85

A : C = 72 : 85
