Answer:

6:5

Explanation:

Step 1: we need to match the b portions of each ration, use a lcm calculator, we see that the least common factor of 1 and 2 is 2

Step 2: For our a:b ratio of 3:1 we need to multiply each portion of the ration by 2 divided by 1 is 2

2 times 3:2 times 1 = 6: 2 our new a b ratio

Step 3: for our bc ratio of 2: 5 we need to multiply each portion of the ratio by 2 divided by 2 equals 1

1 times 2: 1 times 5 = 2:5 our new b:c ratio

since the b portions of each ratio match, we just take a: c = 6:5

GOOD LUCK!
