since both ratios have B
make both Bs the same
lowest common multiple of 6 and 5 is 30
A : B
4 : 6
20 : 30
B : C
5 : 7
30 : 42
A : B : C
20 : 30 : 42
10: 15 : 21

A:B=4:6
A/B=4/6=20/30
B/C=5/7=30/42
So A:B:C=20:30:42

The trick here is to make the value of B in both ratios the same.
A : B = 4: 6
B : C = 5 : 7
In the first ratio, B is 6 and in the second, it is 5. Find LCM of 6 and 5. It is 30. Now multiply both numerator and denominator of the ratios appropriately such that the value of B = 30
A : B = 4 : 6
Multiply by 5
4/6 * (5/5) = 20/30
B : C = 5 : 7
Multiply by 6
(5/7) * (6/6) = 30/42
Now you are ready to write A : B : C
When B = 30, A = 20 and C = 42
So,
A : B : C = 20: 30 : 42 = 10 : 15 : 21 (simplified)

I think you should normalize with respect to B so I would divide the first ratio by six and likewise the second by 5 you get
(4/6):1
and
1:(7/5)
quite easily then
A:B:C is (4/6):1:(7/5)
which by my convention will simplify to
= (20/6):5:7
=(10/3):5:7
= 10:15:21

A:B = 4:6 = (4x5):(6x5) = 20:30
B:C = 5:7 = (5x6):(7x6) = 30:42
Now B is the same so u can put it in the form
A:B:C = 20:30:42 or
A:B:C = 10:15:21 if u divide all by 2.
