Answer 1

• 1/12 : 2/9

Explanation:

Compound ratio is the multiplication of the ratios:

• 2/15 : 3/7 and 5/8 : 14/27

Multiply to get:

• (2/15*5/8) : (3/7*14/27) =
• 1/12 : 2/9

Answer 2

Given ratios,

2/15 : 3/7 and 5/8 : 14/27

Then to find the compound ratio,

We have to multiply,

→ (2/15 × 5/8) : (3/7 × 14/27)

→ 10/120 : 42/189

Now simplify the ratio,

→ 1/12 : 2/9

Thus, required ratio is 1/12 : 2/9.
