Question

(1/2:1/3) or (1/6:1/4) which is greater ratio

Can you solve this

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 : 1/3 or 1/6 : 1/4

= 1/2/1/3 or 1/6/1/4

= 3/2 or 4/6

= 3/2 or 2/3

By cross multiplication we get,

3 × 3 = 2 × 2

9 = 4

The LHS is greater than RHS.

So 3/2 is greater than 2/3.

Or the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 is greater than the ratio 1/6 : 1/4

Answer 2

1/2:1/3

Is greater because when the numerator are same then the small denominators are always greater
