Answer:

a:b = 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]2a-\frac{b}{6} = \frac{b}{3}[/tex]

Lets add both side by [tex]\frac{b}{6}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2a = \frac{b}{3} + \frac{b}{6}[/tex]

Now, taking LCD for 3 and 6 to get 6

⇒ [tex]2a = \frac{2\times b + b}{6}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2a = \frac{3b}{6}  ⇒   2a= \frac{b}{2}[/tex]

Next, we will cross multiply to get the ratio of a:b

⇒ [tex]\frac{a}{b} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

∴ Ratio of a:b = 1:4
