Question

1: To find which ratio is greater
2*1/3:*1/3 ;3.6 : 4.8
​

Answer 1

Answer:

To find which ratio is greater, first convert them into simplest forms.

2 : 1, 3 : 1, 3 : 6 and 4 : 8 in simplest forms =

= 2 : 1, 3 : 1, 1 : 2 and 1 : 2.

So we have :

2 : 1

3 : 1

1 : 2

1 : 2

Convert them into fractions -:

2 : 1 = 2/1, 3 : 1 = 3/1, 1 : 2 = 1/2 and 1: 2 = 1/2.

We have -:

3 : 6 = 4 : 8.

2 : 1 > 3 : 1.

So, this is how you find out which ratio is greater or which ratio is smaller.

Hope it helps!
