New ratio is 7:8

Old ratio is 4:5:3

find gaining ratio is?

partner P gaining ratio=new ratio-old ratio

=84/180-28/180=56/180

partner R gaining ratio =new ratio-old ratio

=8/15-3/12

=96/180-45/180

=51/180

gain ratio is 56/180:51/180

partner P gaining ratio=new ratio- old ratio

=7/15-4/12

=84/180-28/180=56/180

partner Q gaining ratio=new ratio-old what

=8/15-5/12

=96/180-75/180=21/180

gain ratio =56//180:21/180=

=8:3
