This question is about Ratio. If A : B = 5 : 6 and B : C = 8 : 9 then find  A : B : C?

How do you solve this sum??

Given: A : B = 5 : 6 and B : C = 8 : 9

 

In order to find the ratio of A : B : C, we have to make the values of both the B's given above, same.

A : B = 5 : 6  ..... (1)

 

Multiply the RHS of B : C by ; we get

 

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

 

 

To remove fraction, multiply by 4 on R.H.S, we get

A : B : C = 20 : 24 : 27
