Question

3) Compare the ratio 5,17/18,21​

Answer 1

Comparing the ratio ➝

• 5 : 17 & 18 : 21

We have to cross multiply the terms for comparing both.

$\pink \longrightarrow \small \frac{5}{17} \large \: {\times } \: \small \frac{18}{21}$

⟹ 5 × 21 = 105

⟹ 17 × 18 = 306

$\: \: \: \: \: \:$ So, 105 < 306

Now ,

$\frac{5}{17} < \frac {18}{21}$

This means ;

5 : 17 < 18 : 21

Hence , it is compared.

18 : 21 is more than 5 : 17 $\large \red✓$

Comparing the ratio ➝

5 : 17 & 18 : 21

We have to cross multiply the terms for comparing both.

5/17 * 18/21

⟹ 5 × 21 = 105

⟹ 17 × 18 = 306

So, 105 < 306

Now ,

5/17<18/21

This means ;

5 : 17 < 18 : 21

Hence , it is compared.

18 : 21 is more than 5 : 17
