Answer:
<em>a:b:c=8:12:15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Combined Ratio</u>
We are given the ratios:
a:b=2:3
b:c=4:5
The combined ratio a:b:c will include all three variables in one single expression.
Before finding it, we must have a common number for the common variable (b). Since b is 3 in the first ratio and 4 in the second ratio, we must equate both by finding the LCM of 3 and 4=12, thus both ratios will be amplified as follows:
a:b=2:3=(2*4):(3*4)=8:12
b:c=4:5=(4*3):(5*3)=12:15
Now there is a common factor in both ratios, we can combine them removing the common factor:
a:b:c=8:12:15
The answer is x=3 because abt+tbc=abc
Answer:
3(y-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
just factor out the greatest common factor
19/38 and 15/18
Explanation:
19/38 can be reduced as there is a factor other than 1 that can divide without a remainder. Factor is 19
It can still be reduced because 19*2 = 38
19/38 = 1/2
10/19 cannot be reduced as there is no factor other than one to divide without a remainder
21/34 cannot be reduced as there is no factor other than one to divide without a remainder
15/18 can be reduced as there is a factor other than 1 that can divide without a remainder.
The factor is 3
15/18 = 5/6
Fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form are 19/38 and 15/18
