If a/b=6 and b/c=9 find the ratio of a+c to c+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 squared and 9 squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand? Can you explain that please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It has to do with proportions, do you know about proportions to ratios?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If a and b are two quantities that are measured in the same units, then the ratio of a to be is a/b. The ratio of a to be can also be written as a:b. Because a ratio is a quotient, its denominator cannot be zero. Ratios are usually expressed in simplified form. For instance, the ratio of 6:8 is usually simplified to 3:4. (You divided by 2)
