Practicing Success
There are three numbers. If the ratio of the first to the second number is 2 : 7 and that of the second to the third number is 5 : 8, then the ratio of the first to the third number is: |
7 : 8 5 : 28 1 : 4 5 : 7 |
5 : 28 |
Here, A : B : C 2 : 7 : 5 : 8 10 : 35 : 56 ⇒ A : C = 10 : 56 = 5 : 28. |
