Answer:

5b: 3c = 25 : 16

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{a}{b} = \frac{4}{5} \: and \: \frac{a}{c} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

dividing both to get a : c

[tex] \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{a} = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{4}{3} \\ \frac{c}{b} = \frac{16}{15} \\ [/tex]

inverting the fractions

[tex] \frac{b}{c} = \frac{15}{16} [/tex]

multiplying the numerator by 5 and denominator by 3

[tex] \frac{5b}{3c} = \frac{5 \times 15}{3 \times 16} \\ = \frac{75}{48} \\ = \frac{25}{16} [/tex]

therefore,

5b: 3c = 25 : 16
