X is common between the given 2 ratios. Must make them have the same number. Then and only then you can combine X, Y and Z

X:Y=2:7, multiple by 3 to give 6:21 Z:X=4:3, multiple by 2 to give 8:6 Now, Z:X:Y=8:6:21

X:Y = 2:7 = 6:21 (x3) X:Z = 3:4 = 6:8 (x2) X+Z:Y = 6+8:7 = 14:7 = 2:1.

Can we do it via algebraic method? x/y=2/7 so y=7/2x, z= 4/3x (x+z)/ y = (x+4/3 x) / (7/2 x) = (7/3 x) / (7/2 x) = 2/3 so x+z/y = 2/3 so x+z :y = 2:3

Ratio of C: A+B?

KH Puah

The ratio A:B, multiple by 5, ie. 15:5 The ratio A:C, multiple by 3 ,ie, 15:9 This will make A have the same number, namely 15
