Why take LCM when we can directly simplify 1/2:2/3:3/4 by cancelling the common factor?

Easy method take 2, 3, 4 first divide by 2 then it becomes 1, 3, 2 then divide 2 then it becomes 1, 3, 1 then divide 3 it becomes 1, 1, 1 then take divided number 2*2*3=12 do like this my friend.

This is a question on equivalent fraction. Since the ratio's are not equivalent, converting into equivalent fraction as under :
1/2 = 6/12
2/3 = 8/12
3/4 = 9/12
Hence, the ratio's are
6:8:9
or
6/23 ; 8/23; 9/23
First part : 782 * 6/23 = 204
Second part : 782 * 8/23 = 274
Third part : 782 * 9/23 = 306
1/2 = 6/12
2/3 = 8/12
3/4 = 9/12
Hence, the ratio's are
6:8:9
or
6/23 ; 8/23; 9/23
First part : 782 * 6/23 = 204
Second part : 782 * 8/23 = 274
Third part : 782 * 9/23 = 306

Why we need sum of all the three? how did we know this in exam?

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.

See their value is 1/2:2/3:3/4
Then take LCM 2,3,4 it's come 12
Then, (1/2:2/3:3/4)/12
Then 12/2=6 then 6*1=6
12/3=4 then 4*2=8
12/4=3 then 3*3=9
This way we find the 6:8:9.
