Ratio Question

blunted

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Calculate: (3 a + 3 b)/(a - b) If a/b = 2/5

No attempts, I don't know how to solve this.

Help?

K + l + m = 34.
K/l = 1/4
l/m = 1/3

l = ?

Is it 8 ?

maybe it is and maybe it isn't

show your calculations!

(same hint as before, btw)
