Question

If a: b is 2:5 and c: b is 3:5, find a: b: C.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The obtained ratio for A: B: C is 9 : 6 : 10

To find:

A: B: C = ?

Solution:  

Given :  

A: B = 3: 2 and B: C = 3: 5

To compare two ratios, we need to make one of the ratios equal. Here we had B term in both the ratios, so we are making two terms equal by making B equal.

Multiplying A: B i.e. 3: 2 by 3  

and B: C i.e. 3: 5 by 2 to bring the value of B at par, we get

A: B = 9: 6 & B: C = 6: 10

Hence, the value of A: B: C is obtained to be 9 : 6 :10
