Answer 1

Answer:

5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer remains the same

Answer 2

a:b = 5:9
b:c = 6:7

Multiply quantity a and b in a:b by 6

(ax6) : (bx6) = (5x6):(9x6) = 30:54

Multiply quantity b and c in b:c by 9
(bx9):(cx9) = (6x9):(7x9) = 54 : 63

So, a:b:c = 30:54:63

And so the ratio a:c = 30:63

Simplify : divide by 3, 10:21.
