Answer 1

Answer:

Max: Victor:  Roman

6:         3:        :9

Step-by-step explanation:

Max: Victor:  Roman

3      : 2     :  4

Take away 1/4 of 2

1/4 of 2 =

1/4*2 = 1/2

2-1/2 =

4/2 - 1/2 = 3/2

Victor now has 3/2

Roman gets 1/2  so he has

4+ 1/2

8/2 + 1/2 = 9/2

Max: Victor:  Roman

3      : 3/2     :  9/2

But we normally don't leave fractions in the ratio's

Multiply each number by 2  (the ratio won't change)

3*2   :  3/2*2   : 9*2

6:         3:        :9
