Answer: " 1:3:2 " .

___________________________________________________

Explanation:

___________________________________________________

a:b:c :: 19:57:38 ;

Note that "a, b, and c" are all multiples of "19" ; and as such; can all be evenly divided by "19".

19/19 = 1 ;

57/19 = 3 ;

38/19 = 2 .

___________________________________________________

So; a:b:c::19:57:38::1:3:2 .

The answer is: " 1:3:2 " .

Hope this helps!

Best wishes to you!
