The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio A:(A+C) given the ratios A:B and B:C. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write down the given ratios**: - A:B = 3:4 - B:C = 6:5 2. **Express A and B in terms of a common variable**: - Let A = 3k and B = 4k for some variable k. 3. **Express B and C in terms of a common variable**: - From B:C = 6:5, we can express B in terms of C: - Let B = 6m and C = 5m for some variable m. 4. **Equate the two expressions for B**: - Since B = 4k and B = 6m, we can set them equal to each other: - 4k = 6m - This implies k = (6/4)m = (3/2)m. 5. **Substitute k back to find A and C**: - Substitute k into A: - A = 3k = 3 * (3/2)m = (9/2)m. - Substitute m to find C: - C = 5m. 6. **Calculate A + C**: - A + C = (9/2)m + 5m = (9/2)m + (10/2)m = (19/2)m. 7. **Find the ratio A:(A+C)**: - A:(A+C) = (9/2)m : (19/2)m. - This simplifies to 9:19. ### Final Answer: The ratio A:(A+C) is 9:19, which corresponds to option C.
