Question

Find the ratio a:c if a:b = 1:2, b:d = 4:5, d:c = 3:1​

Answer 1

Answer:

a : c = 6 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing the ratios in fractional form, then

$\frac{a}{c}$ = $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{b}{d}$ × $\frac{d}{c}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{4}{5}$ × $\frac{3}{1}$ = $\frac{12}{10}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$

Thus a : c = 6 : 5
