Answer:
Given: Ratios 3/4, 5/6 and 3/8
To find: Order of these ratios
Solution: Given ratios are 3/4, 5/6 and 3/8
To compare these ratios, first we need to convert these to like fractions.
Converting to like fractions
Step 1: Find L.C.M. of the denominators
L.C.M. of 4, 6 and 8 is 24
Step 2: Multiply the fractions with such numbers so that the resulting denominator becomes 24. The resultant fractions would be equivalent fractions to these fractions. (Equivalent fractions have different numerator and denominator but same in value as of initial fraction)
To find such number, divide the L.C.M. by the denominator
For 3/4, divide 24 by 4. The result is 6.
For 5/6, divide 24 by 6. The result is 4.
For 3/8, divide 24 by 8. The result is 3.
On comparing the fractions
20/24 > 18/24 > 9/24 OR 5/6 > 3/4 > 3/8
