Question

B) If a: b = 2:3 and b: c = 6:5, find
(i) a: c

Answer 1

a:c = 4:5

Explanation:

To find the ratio of a:c, you can multiply the two given ratios: a:b and b:c.

Given a:b = 2:3 and b:c = 6:5, multiply the corresponding terms to get a:c:

a:b = 2:3

b:c = 6:5

Multiply the corresponding terms:

a:c = (2 * 6) : (3 * 5)

a:c = 12:15

Simplify the ratio:

a:c = 4:5
