Question

the ratio of A to B is a to 8, and the ratio of B to C is 12 to c. if the ratio of A to C is 2 to 1, what is the ratio of a to c?

Answer 1

Are A and C different from a and c? Maybe angles and sides?

Answer 2

theyre different yes

Answer 3

Is there a diagram that goes along with the problem?

Answer 4

no diagram

Answer 5

i think they stand for angles and sides like you said before

Answer 6

OH, I misread. I missed that "12 to c"

Answer 7

A/B=a/8

B/C=12/c

A/c=2/1

what is a/c?


A/B * 8=a

B/C *c=12 => c=12*C/B

a/c=(A/B * 8)/(12* C/B)=8/12 * A/C=2/3 * A/C

Answer 8

but A/C=2/1=2

so a/c=2/3 * 2=4/3
