Question

class 12ans compare the ratios 5:12an.d3.8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the ratios 5 : 12 and 3 : 8.

Solution :

5 : 12 = 5/12 and 3 : 8 = 3/8

LCM of 12 and 8 is 24

(5 x 2)/(12 x 2) = 10/24 and (3 x 3)/(8 x 3) = 9/24

Clearly, 10 > 9

∴ 10/24 > 9/24

⇒ 5/12 > 3/8.

⇒ 5 : 12 > 3 : 8.
