If \(\frac{a}{7}\) = \(\frac{b}{3}\) = \(\frac{c}{5}\)
then find (\(\frac{a + b + c}{b + c }\)).
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Given, \(\frac{a}{7}\) = \(\frac{b}{3}\) = \(\frac{c}{5}\)
Here we can directly conclude that
a = 7, b = 3, c = 5, hence
⇒ (\(\frac{a + b + c}{b + c }\)) = (\(\frac{7 + 3 + 5}{ 3 + 5 }\)) = \(\frac{15}{8}\)
