Answer:

a= 18; b= 48; c= 88. Please note that even half these value work (9, 24, 44) or any multiple of these (9k, 24k, 44k, with k a positive integer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go easy, and pick b to be 6x8, to make things easy for us. Maybe even 6x4 could work, 12x8 will totally work, but this is the simplest choice.

Now on the first proportion [tex]a:48=3:8 \rightarrow 8a = 48\times3 \rightarrow a = 18[/tex]

From the second proportion [tex]48:c=6:11 \rightarrow 6c = 48\times 11 \rightarrow c = 88[/tex]
