Ratio Problem

[jenniferg]

Can someone advise me on what steps I need to take to solve a problem like this? Lara has three cats: Socks, Princess, and Luna. The ratio of Sock's weight to Princess's weight is 4:5. The ratio of Princess's weight to Luna's weight is 6:7. What is the ratio of Sock's weight to Luna's weight?

How should I set up this problem? I am totally confused. Thank you.
