Question

The ratio of Scott’s age to Georgia’s age to Fiona’s age is 11:6:7. The ratio of Oscar’s age to Georgia’s age is 3:4. Find the ratio of Fiona’s age to Oscar’s age.

Answer 1

Answer:

9:14

Step-by-step explanation:

Scott's age = 11x

Georgia's age = 6x = 4y

Fiona's age = 7x

Oscar's age = 3y

From 6x = 4y,

Dividing both sides by 6,

x = 2y/3

Putting above value of x in Fiona's age,

14y/3

Now, for the required ratio,

3y ÷ 14y/3

3y × 3/14y

9/14

9:14

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Georgia's age be x

and Scott's age be 11x/6

and Fiona's age be 7x/6

let Oscars age be y

atq

y/x= 3/4

y=3x/4

then, ratio of Fiona's age to Oscar's age=(7x/6)/(3x/4)=14/9

ie 14:9
