Answer:

dont know sorry mate

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a : b = 2 : 3

b : c = 5 : 8

(a: b) is multiplied by 5 and (b : c) by 3

a : b = 10 : 15

b : c = 15 : 24

let a = 10x

b = 15x

c = 24x

then according to question

10x + 15x + 24x = 98

or, 49x = 98

x = 98/49

= 2

then,

the number

a = 10x

= 10*2

= 20

b = 15x

= 15*2

= 30

c = 24x

= 24*2

= 48
