b) A prize is divided between three people
X, Y and Z. If the ratio of X's share to Y's
share is 3:1 and Y's share to Z's share
is 2:5, calculate the ratio of X's share
to Z's share.

Respuesta :

Answer:

X : Z = 6 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

X : Y      =  3 :  1

Double both sides

X : Y      =  6 : 2

     Y : Z=        2 :  5

Combined

X : Y : Z     =  6 : 2 : 5

Therefor

X : Z = 6 : 5
