1.

If A:B = 3:5 & C:D = 4:7, find A:B:C

Answer»

Answer:

Well while solving questions related to ratios,always keep in the mind about the equality between the variables

Consider first case

A:B=5:9

Can also be WRITTEN as 5*4:9*4

Well I just multiplied NUMERATOR and denominator by 4 so actually I multiplied by 1

In the same way B:C can also by multiplied by 9 on both numerator and denominator giving the ratio

B:C =4*9:7*9

Therefore,

A:B=20:36

And B:C=36:49

Since on both ratio B is same

Hence A:B:C=20:36:49
