1. If 3a=4k, 7b=10k and 6c=5k, where k≠0, find a : b : c.
2.The total value of some $0.5, $1.5 and $3 stamps is $73. It is known that the numbersof these three kinds of stamps are in the ratio of 4 : 9 : 7.
(a) If there are 4k pieces of $0.5 stamps, express the numbers of $1.5 stamps and $3 stamps in terms of k.
(b) Hence, find the number of $0.5 stamps.
