If A : B = 3 : 4, C : B = 5 : 4, C : D = 10 : 9, then A : B : C : D is

First, let's write the ratios in the same order as the question. A : B = 3 : 4, B : C = 4 : 5, C : D = 10 : 9 From that we can already see that A : B : C = 3 : 4 : 5 Now let's look at B : C and C : D B : C = 4 : 5; C : D = 10 : 9 If we divide the numbers in the C:D ratio by 2, we get C : D = 5 : 4.5 That gives us A : B : C : D = 3 : 4 : 5 : 4.5 If we don't want decimals, we multiply all numbers by 2 to get A : B : C : D = 6 : 8 : 10 : 9
