/* Given the ratio a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 4 What is c, given a = 40? A general ratio chain is a_1 : a_2 : a_3 : ... : a_n = r_1 : r2 : r_3 : ... : r_n. Now each term can be expressed as a_i = r_i * x for some unknown proportional constant x. If a_k is known it follows that x = a_k / r_k. Substituting x into the first equation yields a_i = r_i / r_k * a_k. Given an array r and a given value a_k, the following function calculates all a_i: */ function calculateRatios(r, a_k, k) { const x = Fraction(a_k).div(r[k]); return r.map(r_i => x.mul(r_i)); } // Example usage: const r = [2, 3, 4]; // Ratio array representing a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 4 const a_k = 40; // Given value of a (corresponding to r[0]) const k = 0; // Index of the known value (a corresponds to r[0]) const result = calculateRatios(r, a_k, k); console.log(result); // Output: [40, 60, 80]
