AMC10 2020 B · Q3. It mainly tests Ratios & proportions.

The ratio of $w$ to $x$ is $4 : 3$, the ratio of $y$ to $z$ is $3 : 2$, and the ratio of $z$ to $x$ is $1 : 6$. What is the ratio of $w$ to $y$?
$w$ 与 $x$ 的比是 $4 : 3$,$y$ 与 $z$ 的比是 $3 : 2$,$z$ 与 $x$ 的比是 $1 : 6$。$w$ 与 $y$ 的比是多少?
(A) 4 : 3 4 : 3
(B) 3 : 2 3 : 2
(C) 8 : 3 8 : 3
(D) 4 : 1 4 : 1
(E) 16 : 3 16 : 3
Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
Answer (E): Because \[ \frac{w}{y}=\frac{w}{x}\cdot\frac{x}{z}\cdot\frac{z}{y}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot\frac{6}{1}\cdot\frac{2}{3}=\frac{16}{3}, \] the requested ratio is $16:3$.
答案(E):因为 \[ \frac{w}{y}=\frac{w}{x}\cdot\frac{x}{z}\cdot\frac{z}{y}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot\frac{6}{1}\cdot\frac{2}{3}=\frac{16}{3}, \] 所以所求比为 \$16:3\$。
