Question : 54 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

m:n=5:11

n:p=2:5

m:n:p

Solution:

Concept:

To combine two ratios into a triple ratio, make the common term (n) equal by multiplying each ratio with the LCM of the two values for n.

Explanation:

Given m:n = 5:11 and n:p = 2:5. The common term is n. The LCM of 11 and 2 is 22.

For m:n = 5:11, multiply both parts by 2 to get 10:22.

For n:p = 2:5, multiply both parts by 11 to get 22:55.

Now n is 22 in both, so combine: m:n:p = 10:22:55.

Answer:

10:22:55
