Question

Problem

When a is divided by b, the result is 5/8. If b is divided by c, the
result is 9/14. What is the result of a divided by c?

Answer 1

45/126 or 5/14

Explanation:

a / b = 5/8

b / c = 9/14

a = 5

b = 8

b = 9

8 * 9 = 72

b = 72

If b was = 8 and now = 72, multiply a by 9.

b = 45

If b was 9 and now is 72, multiply c by 9.

c = 14 * 9 = 140 - 14 = 126

b / c = 45/126 or 5/14

You are welcome!
