At certain college there are twice as many as english major as history major and there are three times as many as english major as math major. What is the ratio history to math major?

English : History = 2:1
English : Maths = 3:1

History : Maths = (History : English)* (English : Maths) = 1/2 * 3/1 = 3/2

E/H=2/1 & E/M =3/1

DEVIDE ONE BY OTHER

(E/H)/(E/M)=(2/1)/(3/1)

SO H/M=3/2
