E/D = 2/3
B/M = 4/5
B/D = 1/2

M/E = ?

M/E = (D/E)(B/D)(M/B) = 3/2 x 1/2 x 5/4 = 15/16

E: D = 2:3
B:M = 4:5
B: D = 1:2
M:E = ?

E: D = 2:3 (multiply by 2)
B: D = 1:2 (multiply by 3)

E: D = 4:6
B: D = 3:6

E: D:B = 4:6:3
E:B = 4:3 (multiply by 4)
B:M = 4:5 (multiply by 3)

E:B = 16:12
B:M = 12:15
E:B:M = 16:12:15
E:M = 16:15
M:E = 15:16.

I will also take the pleasure of sovingthis with descriptive names. :-) (for extra credit)

elephant/deer = 2/3

elephant = 2 deer/3

bison/moose = 4/5

moose = 5 bison /4

bison /deer = 1/2 -> deer = 2 bison


Moose / elephant = 5 bison /4 / 2 deer/3
= 5 bison / 4 / 2 (2*bison) /3
= 15/16
