Answer: The ratio of Mike and Sam Heights are S:M=5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ravi is 3/4 as tall as Sam.

Consider the equation is 3/4 *R=S

Mike is 5/3 as tall as Ravi.

Then, the equation is 5/3 *M=R

Solve the two equation to find ratio of mikes and sam height.

3/4*R=S Eq(1)

Rearranging eq (1) for R

R=4/3 *S Eq(3) made from eQ (1)

R=5/3*M Eq(2)

Comparing Eq 2 &3 equations

4/3*S=5/3*M

S/M=(5/3)*(3/4)

S/M=5/4
