the sum of the numbers is 177 . if the ratio between the first and the second be 5 : 3 and that between the second and third be 4 : 9 , then find the second number ?
"given ratios 5 : 3 4 : 9 20 : 12 : 27 the second number = 177 / ( 20 + 12 + 27 ) * 15 = 45 answer is c"
divide(multiply(177, lcm(3, 4)), add(multiply(9, 3), add(multiply(4, 5), multiply(4, 3))))
