Question

If p:q =3/4 :2 and p:r= 1/3 :1/2 find p:q:r Please explain with steps

Answer 1

p : q : r = 1 : 8/3 : 3/2

Explanation:

p/q = (3/4)/2 = 3/(4*2) = 3/8

=> q = (8/3)p

p/r = (1/3)/(1/2) = (1*2)/(3*1) = 2/3

=> r = (3/2)p

=> (p, q ,r) = (p, (8/3)p, (3/2)p)

=> p : q : r = 1 : 8/3 : 3/2

Hope this helps!
