The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio A:B:C given that \( \frac{4}{6}A = 75\%B = 60\%C \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert percentages to fractions**: - \( 75\% \) can be written as \( \frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4} \). - \( 60\% \) can be written as \( \frac{60}{100} = \frac{3}{5} \). So, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \frac{4}{6}A = \frac{3}{4}B = \frac{3}{5}C \] 2. **Set a common variable**: Let \( k \) be the common value such that: \[ \frac{4}{6}A = k, \quad \frac{3}{4}B = k, \quad \frac{3}{5}C = k \] 3. **Express A, B, and C in terms of k**: - From \( \frac{4}{6}A = k \): \[ A = k \cdot \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}k \] - From \( \frac{3}{4}B = k \): \[ B = k \cdot \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{3}k \] - From \( \frac{3}{5}C = k \): \[ C = k \cdot \frac{5}{3} = \frac{5}{3}k \] 4. **Write the ratio A:B:C**: Now we can express the ratio A:B:C as: \[ A : B : C = \frac{3}{2}k : \frac{4}{3}k : \frac{5}{3}k \] 5. **Eliminate k**: Since k is common in all terms, we can ignore it and focus on the coefficients: \[ A : B : C = \frac{3}{2} : \frac{4}{3} : \frac{5}{3} \] 6. **Find a common denominator**: The least common multiple of the denominators (2, 3) is 6. So we convert each term: - \( \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3 \times 3}{2 \times 3} = \frac{9}{6} \) - \( \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{8}{6} \) - \( \frac{5}{3} = \frac{5 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{10}{6} \) Thus, we have: \[ A : B : C = 9 : 8 : 10 \] ### Final Ratio: The ratio \( A : B : C \) is \( 9 : 8 : 10 \). ---
