1. Identify the common term and find the equivalent ratios

Steven : Cindy = 3:23 : 2
Cindy : Juliet = 4:54 : 5
The common term is Cindy. We need to make Cindy's parts equal in both ratios. The lowest common multiple of 22 and 44 is 44.
Multiply the first ratio by 22:
Steven : Cindy = (3×2):(2×2)=6:4(3 \times 2) : (2 \times 2) = 6 : 4

2. Combine the ratios and extract the required ratio

Now we have:
Steven : Cindy : Juliet = 6:4:56 : 4 : 5
The ratio of Steven's age to Juliet's age is 6:56 : 5. This is already in its simplest form.

Answer

6:56 : 5
