(a)/(b) = (4)/(3) , (b)/(d)= (8)/(9) , (c)/(d)= (2)/(5)

 

then what is (a)/(c)

a=4, c=2, therefore,

4/2=2

(a)/(b) = (4)/(3) , (b)/(d)= (8)/(9) , (c)/(d)= (2)/(5)

 

then what is (a)/(c)

 

 

 From the first ratio, b = (3/4)a             

 

From the third ratio,  d = (5/2)c      ....so.......

 

Subbing into the second one

 

[(3/4)a]  / [(5/2)c]  = 8/9

 

(3/4) ( 2/5) [a / c]  = 8/9

 

6/20 [ a / c]  = 8/9

 

3/10 [a / c]  = 8/9

 

a/c = 8/9 * 10/3   =  80/27

 

 

cool cool cool
