General Ratio Question

by JbhB682 Wed Nov 20, 2019 10:47 pm

Hi Tutors - Quick question on ratio related information

Source : Made up

Given information
- Ratio of Y : Z is 5 : 1
- Ratio of X : Z is 5 : 1

Question :

Question 1) What is the ratio of X : y
Question 2) What is the ratio of x : y : z

My understanding is - based on above given information You cannot find the ratio of either X : Y and thus cannot determine the ratio of X : Y : Z

So both questions CANNOT be answered based on given information

Is this your understanding as well

Thank you !
