Question

Given that a/b = 2/9 and b/c = 9/4 find a:b:c

Answer 1

a: b: c= 2: 9 :4

Explanation:

`(a)/(b) = (2)/(9)`

`(b)/(c) = (9)/(4)`

Since b is the common variable in both fractions, ensure that the value of b in both fractions are the same. Here, the value of b in both fractions are 9. Thus, we can find their relationship with one another in terms of ratio by combining the two fractions together.

a: b: c= 2: 9: 4

This ratio is already in it's simplest form.
