Question

The ratio of a to b is 3 to 4, and the ratio of c to b is 1 to 2. What is the ratio of a to c?

Answer 1

3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given problem;

a : b = 3 : 4

c : b = 1 : 2

So what is the ratio of a:c

a : b : c = ?

Since

a : b b : c

3 : 4 2 : 1

If we multiply b : c by 2 ;

b : c = 4 : 2

So;

a : b b : c

3 : 4 4 : 2

So;

a : b : c

3 : 4 : 2

So;

a : c = 3:2
