If the ratio of apples to bananas is 4 to 3 and the ratio of bananas to cucumbers is 1 to 5, what is the ratio of apples to cucumbers?
A. 4:15
B. 1:3
C. 2:5
D. 4:5
E. 7:6
The OA is A.
I think that a quick way to solve this PS question is as follow,
$$\frac{apples}{bananas}\cdot\frac{bananas}{cucumbers}=\ \frac{4}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{15}\frac{apples}{cucumbers},\ right?$$
Is there another approach to this question? Can any experts help, please? Thanks!
