Question

In each of the following A B and C are non-zero numbers find a : b : c
a=b/3 and b:c=5:7​

Answer 1

a : b : c = 5/3 : 5 : 7

Explanation:

We have to find a : b : c,

a = b/3,

so, the ratio a : b = b/3 : b = 1/3 : 1

a : b = 1/3 : 1

and b : c = 5 : 7

Now, we have to make the value of b in both the ratios same,

so,

a : b = 1/3 : 1,

Multiplying by 5,

a : b = (1/3 : 1 ) * 5

a : b = 5/3 : 5

Now, comparing the ratios a : b = 5/3 : 5 and b : c = 5 : 7,

we have,

a : b : c = 5/3 : 5 : 7
