Question

If 3a=2b and 3b=5c, what is the ratio of a to c?

Answer 1

First you should try to set each equation equal to the same thing. Since you are trying to find the ratio of a to c, you should set both equal to b.

Answer 2

3a=2b
b=(3a)/2

3b=5c
b=(5c)/3

Answer 3

k

Answer 4

since b=(3a)/2 and b=(5c)/3, (5c)/3=(3a)/2. Now you can simplify and get the ratio.
