Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Object b has three times the mass of object c, so the gravitational force between objects b and c is three times greater than the gravitational force between objects a and b. Therefore, the ratio of the gravitational force between objects a and b to the gravitational force between objects b and c is 3:4
