a/b =3/4
b/c=5/6
so, b=5/6*c
a/b = 3/4....(1)
a/b= a/(5/6 ) *c......(2)
so, from eq 1 and 2
a/(5/6)*c=3/4
a/c=(3/4 )*5/6
=15/24
=5/8

B:C=5:6
B/C=(5*4/5)/6*4/5
B/C=4/(24/5)
A/B=3/4
if B is equal to 4 then A and C are equal to 3 and 24/5 respectively
A/C=3/(24/5)=3*5/(24/5*5)=15/24=5/8
therefore A:C=5:8 Ans

if A/B = 3/4 --> B = 4/3 A
use this with B/C = 5/6 --> 4/3 A/C = 5/6
--> A/C = 5/6 * 3/4 --> A/C = 15/24 ---> A/C = 5/8

A:B = 3:4 (* 5)
A:B = 15:20
B:C = 5:6 (* 4)
B:C = 20:24
=> A:B:C = 15:20:24
A:C = 15:24 (/ 3)
A:C = 5:8

3/4 x 5/6 or 15/24, or 5/8

1) A/B = 3/4 & B/C= 5/6
2) C = 6/5 x B
3) A = 3/4 x B
4) A:C = (3/4 x B) /(6/5 x B) = (3B/4)/(6B/5)= (3B/4)x(5/6B)
5) Thus, A/C= 15/24 = 5/8
6) A: C = 5:8
Your optimal solution!

If A is 3/4ths of B and B is 5/6ths of C, then A is 3/4ths times 5/6ths of C, or 15/24ths or 5/8ths.

(A/B)(B/C) =A/C= (3/4)(5/6)= 15/24 = 5/8
Your proportion is stating that 3 sqrt(3) is the geometric mean between 3 and 6.
