Question

if a b is equal to 2 ratio 3 and B ratio C is equal to 5 ratio 6 find A:C​

Answer 1

Answer:

A : C is equal to 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

A : B = 2:3

B : C =5:6

A : C =

A= 2

C =6 A:C = 2:6 2÷ 6 = 1\3

''1:3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A : B = 2 : 3

B : C = 5 : 6

Let's find the values of A, B and C

We can observe,

The value of B is different in both the ratios.

So, we need to find the LCM of values of B

LCM (3, 5) = 15

To make the value of B equal in both the ratios,

We have to multiply A : B and B : C ratios by 5 and 3 respectively.

(A : B) × 5

2 × 5 : 3 × 5

10 : 15

(B : C) × 3

5 × 3 : 6 × 3

15 : 18

Now, value of B is equal in both the ratios.

Therefore,

A : B : C

10 : 15 : 18

A : C

10 : 18

= 5 : 9
