Since B:A=9:2, when A=5, B=45/2
Since A:C=3:4, when A=5, C=2-/3

A*B*C= 5*(45/2)*(20/3)=750

A/C = 3/4; A=5 which means C = 20/3

B/A = 9/2; A=5 which means B=45/2

A*B*C = 5*(45/2)*(20/3)

i need to refresh my ratios.

When a is 5, this means that A is a multiplier of 5. B is 9*5 = 45. Why isnt the denominator 2*5?
