Given that 6 times A's capital equals 8 times B's capital, which also equals 10 times C's capital, what is the ratio of their capitals A : B : C?
Explanation
Since 6A = 8B = 10C, we express A, B, and C in terms of a common value. Thus, A = 1/6, B = 1/8, and C = 1/10 of that value. Converting these to a ratio by finding a common multiple yields A : B : C = 20 : 15 : 12.
