a : b = 9:4 and 10b = 7c
work out a:c in its simplest form
Hmm, let me try this one.
We know that a:b=9:4, and 10b=7c, so that means b:c=10:7
a:b=9:4
c:b=7:10 Find the LCM of 4 and 10, which is 20.
So, a:b=45:20
c:b=14:20
Thus, the answer is 45:14
Ok, Tertre fixed his error, and his answer looks right now!
is this correct?
10b=7c, b=7/10c
So, 4x=7/10c, x=7/10/4=7/10*1/4=7/40c
9x=7/40*9=63/40c.
a=63/40c
Wait, so is it 63:40?
Thanks, tertre and X2 !!!
