Ratio of Ben's score to Cal's=1:2

Ratio of able's score to ben;s score to cal's score=6:1:2

Explanation:

Let Ben's score =x

Able scored six times Ben's score

Able=6*x

=6x

Cal scored a third of Able's score

Cal=1/3 of 6x

=1/3(6x)

Ratio of Able's score to Ben

6x:x

=6:1

Ratio of Ben's score to Cal's score

x:1/3(6x)

=x:6x/3

=x:2x

=1:2

Ratio of able's score to ben;s score to cal's score=6:1:2
