Answer:

a : c = 9 : 8

Explanation:

Expressing the ratios in fractional form , then


(a)/(c) =
(a)/(b) ×
(b)/(c)

Given a : b =
(1)/(2) :
(1)/(3) ( multiply both parts by 6 to clear the fractions )

a : b = 3 : 2 and b : c = 3 : 4 , then


(a)/(c) =
(3)/(2) ×
(3)/(4) =
(3(3))/(2(4)) =
(9)/(8)

That is a : c = 9 : 8
