The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of A, B, and C given that one third of A, one fourth of B, and one fifth of C are equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set up the equation based on the given information:** We know that: \[ \frac{1}{3}A = \frac{1}{4}B = \frac{1}{5}C \] Let's denote the common value of these expressions as \( k \). Therefore, we can write: \[ \frac{1}{3}A = k \quad \Rightarrow \quad A = 3k \] \[ \frac{1}{4}B = k \quad \Rightarrow \quad B = 4k \] \[ \frac{1}{5}C = k \quad \Rightarrow \quad C = 5k \] 2. **Express A, B, and C in terms of k:** From the above equations, we have: - \( A = 3k \) - \( B = 4k \) - \( C = 5k \) 3. **Find the ratio A:B:C:** Now we can write the ratio of A, B, and C: \[ A:B:C = 3k : 4k : 5k \] Since \( k \) is a common factor, we can simplify this to: \[ A:B:C = 3 : 4 : 5 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the ratio A:B:C is \( 3:4:5 \).
