Question

a is 25% of b
b is 30% of c.
Write the ratio a:b:c
Give your ratio in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

40a : 10b : 3c

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write this information more mathematically by saying:

$a = \frac{1}{4} b$

$b= \frac{3}{10} c$

This can be written as ratios as well by making them all integers so:

4a : b

10b : 3c

By making the b's in both equations the same, we can link all the ratios together so:

40a : 10b

10b : 3c

So,

40a : 10b : 3c
