Question

The sum of three numbers is 98. The ratio of the first to the second is 2/3, and the ratio of the second to the third is 5/8. The second number is:
(a) 15, (b) 20, (c) 30, (d) 32, (e) 33​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

i:ii =2:3

ii:iii = 5:8

lcm of 3,5=15

i:ii = 2×5:3×5=10:15

ii:iii=5×3:8×3=15:24

i:ii:iii = 10:15:24

sum = 10+15+24=49 parts =98

1part = 98/49=2

ii=15parts = 15×2=30
