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
(c/b) - x = 2d
(c/b) = 2d + x
c = b(2d + x)
c = 2db + bx
ac + bd = x
ac = x - bd
c = (x - bd) / a OR c = (x/a) - (bd/a)
