5 1/4 line could be divided into parts of x. You would have the ratios of x : 2x : 3x. Add these parts and you get 5 1/4, x + 2x + 3x = 5 1/4. Now you have an equation to solve. 6x = 5 1/4 so x equals 7/8. Ratio would be 7/8 : 14/8 : 21/8. If this is right could you possibly give me brainliest? Hope this helped.
1 + 2 + 3 = 6
To get parts in a ratio of 1 to 2 to 3, the parts are in the ratio of 1/6 to 2/6 to 3/6 of 5 1/4.
Change 5 1/4 into a fraction: 5 1/4 = 21/4
Now find 1/6 of 21/4, then find 2/6 of 21/4, then find 3/6 of 21/4.
1/6 * 21/4 = 21/24 = 7/8
2/6 * 21/4 = 1/3 * 21/4 = 21/12 = 7/4 = 1 3/4
3/6 * 21/4 = 1/2 * 21/4 = 21/8 = 2 5/8
The parts of 5 1/4 in a ratio of 1:2:3 are 7/8, 1 3/4, 2 5/8
