The given ratios are=1/2:2/3:3/4
Then take the LCM Of the denominator of ratios(2,3,4=12)
Then divide each ratio with 12. for eg:- 1/2*12=6.
Then take the LCM Of the denominator of ratios(2,3,4=12)
Then divide each ratio with 12. for eg:- 1/2*12=6.

Multiply 1/2 with 6, 2/3 with 4 and 3/4 with 3 so that numerator is same i.e. 12, hence 6:8:9
First part is 6 upon sum of 6+8+9=23 i.e. 6/23
First part is 6 upon sum of 6+8+9=23 i.e. 6/23

Let,
1/2x+2/3x+3/4x = 782.
Therefore solving x = 408.
From question, we need the first part, i.e. 1/2 of x = 204 :answer.
1/2x+2/3x+3/4x = 782.
Therefore solving x = 408.
From question, we need the first part, i.e. 1/2 of x = 204 :answer.

2500:1250:1250 Ans.
1+1/2+1/2= 1+0.5+0.5.
5000/2=2500.
1*2500=2500.
0.5*2500=1250.
0.5*2500=1250.
2500+1250+1250= 5000.
1+1/2+1/2= 1+0.5+0.5.
5000/2=2500.
1*2500=2500.
0.5*2500=1250.
0.5*2500=1250.
2500+1250+1250= 5000.

Take lcm of given ratio 1/2:2/3:3/4.
Lcm is 12.
So get 6:8:9,
Add 6, 8, 9 ans is 23,
So, 23 is 782 then 6 is 204.
Lcm is 12.
So get 6:8:9,
Add 6, 8, 9 ans is 23,
So, 23 is 782 then 6 is 204.
