Explanation:


(a)/(b) = (5)/(4) \: \: \: \: \: \: (b)/(c) = (3)/(2)


(a)/(b) * (b)/(c) = (5)/(4) * (3)/(2)


(a)/(c) = (15)/(8)


(c)/(a) = (8)/(15)

Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf (a)/(c) = (15)/(8) \ \ OR \ (c)/(a)= (8)/(15) }

Explanation:


\sf Given \ that\\\\(a)/(b) = (5)/(4) \\\\(b)/(c) = \frac{3} {2}\\\\Multiplying \ both \ of \ the \ above \ equations\\\\(a)/(b) * (b)/(c) = (5)/(4) * (3)/(2) \\\\(a)/(c) = (5*3)/(4*2) \\\\\bold{(a)/(c) = (15)/(8) }

Hope this helped!
