To find the ratio of X to Z, we need to first find the value of y in both ratios.
From the given information:
x:y = 5:2
y:z = 3:2
To find the value of y in both ratios, we need to make the y in both ratios the same. We can do this by multiplying the second ratio by 2.
So, the first ratio becomes:
x:y = 5:2
The second ratio becomes:
y:z = 6:4
Now we have the common value of y in both ratios.
To find the ratio of X to Z, we can combine the ratios using the common value of y:
x:y:z = 5:2:4
Therefore, the ratio of X to Z is 5:4.
