Question

If A=1/3B and B=1/2 C then À:B:C=?

Answer 1

To find ratio express all the terms in terms of C

A = 1/3 B

B = 1/2 C

Put B = 1/2 C in A value

A = 1/3 B = 1/3 * 1/2 C = 1/6 C

A:B:C = 1/6 C : 1/2 C : C

Multiply 6 in all terms

A:B:C = 6/6 C : 6/2 C : 6 C

A:B:C = C : 3C : 6C

Remove common term because it is a ratio

A:B:C = 1:3:6

Answer

A:B:C = 1:3:6
