Question

8)

The ratio of u to v is 12:10.
The ratio of v to w is 25 : 17.
Find the ratio u:v:w in its simplest form.

Answer 1

6:5:2

Explanation:

We need the amounts for v to be equal, so

u:v = 12:10 v is 10

v:w = 25:17 v is 25

Multiply the first ratio by 2.5 to get an equivalent amount for v

u:v = 30:25

so u:v:w = 30:25:10

They can all be divided by 5

6:5:2
