Question

5. Which of the following pairs of ratio is greater?
23:24 or 15 : 16
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{23}{24} \frac{15}{16}$

$\frac{23 \times 16}{24 \times 16} \frac{15 \times 24}{16 \times 24}$

$\frac{368}{384} > \frac{360}{384}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1st Method

23X16=368 and 24x15=360

As 23X16>24X15

So, 23/24 > 15/16 i.e. 23:24 > 15 : 16

2nd Method

23/24=23x16/24x16=368/384

and 15/16=15x24/16x24=360/384  (Making denominator same in both the cases)

As 368>360

So, 368/384>360/384

Or, 23/24 > 15/16 i.e. 23:24 > 15 : 16
