Let's assume the length of A is 2x, B is 5x, and C is 3x. Since the length of C is 9 times the length of B, we have:
3x = 9 * 5x
3x = 45x
Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 15
Therefore, the length of A is 2x = 2 * 15 = 30 meters.
The length of B is 5x = 5 * 15 = 75 meters.
3x = 9 * 5x
3x = 45x
Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 15
Therefore, the length of A is 2x = 2 * 15 = 30 meters.
The length of B is 5x = 5 * 15 = 75 meters.

I'm pretty sure that there was just a typo.
"9bmeters" should probably be just "9 meters"
2:5:3 = 6:15:9
I mean, after all, how can 3x be 9 times as big as 5x?
Your math is so wrong.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct.
If the length of C is 9 meters and the ratio of A, B, and C is 6:15:9, we can find the value of x by setting up the equation:
3x = 9
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
x = 3
So, the length of A is 6x = 6 * 3 = 18 meters.
The length of B is 15x = 15 * 3 = 45 meters.
If the length of C is 9 meters and the ratio of A, B, and C is 6:15:9, we can find the value of x by setting up the equation:
3x = 9
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
x = 3
So, the length of A is 6x = 6 * 3 = 18 meters.
The length of B is 15x = 15 * 3 = 45 meters.
