If a is \(\frac{3}{2}\) times b, b is \(\frac{3}{4}\) of c and d is \(\frac{1}{4}\) of c, what is the…
The ratio is 9 : 2. Take c = 8: then b = \(\frac{3}{4}\) × 8 = 6, a = \(\frac{3}{2}\) × 6 = 9 and d = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × 8 = 2. So a : d = 9 : 2. Inverting the fraction for b…

If a is times b, b is of c and d is of c, what is the ratio a : d?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The ratio is 9 : 2. Take c = 8: then b = × 8 = 6, a = × 6 = 9 and d = × 8 = 2. So a : d = 9 : 2. Inverting the fraction for b (taking b as of c) would give 8 : 1, and neither 9 : 1 nor 8 : 3 fits the given fractions.
