Question

if x : y = 0.75 : 0.90 and y : z = 1/3 : 1/4
(A) simplify the ratio x : y and y : z

(B) find x : y : z

Answers

  1. Step-by-step explanation:
    x:y=0.75:0.90
    Here,
    Dividing by the value of y=0.90,
    x:y=0.75/0.90:0.90/0.90
    =5/6:1
    Similarly,
    y:z=1/3:1/4
    Dividing by 1/3,we get,
    y:z=1:3/4
    Now,
    X:y:z=5/6:1:3/4
    Multiplying by both value of y,0.90×1/3=3/10
    x:y:z=5/6×3/10:1×3/10:3/4×3/10
    By solving this,

    x:y:z=1/4:3/10:9/40
