Question

compare the following ratios 1/3 :1/4and 1/5 :1/4​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3 : 1/4 > 1/5 : 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 : 1/4 and 1/5 : 1/4 ( to compare)

(1st) 1/3 : 1/4

= 1/3÷ 1/4

= 1/3 × 4/1 (we changed decimal to multiply

=4/3 by taking it's reciprocal )

(2nd) 1/5 : 1/4

= 1/5 ÷ 1/4

= 1/5 × 4/1

= 4/5

According to question now we have to compare 4/3 and 4/5 so :-

4/3 , 4/5

LCM of 3 and 5 = 15

4/3 × 5/5 = 20/15

4/5 × 3/3 = 12 / 15

20/15 > 12/15

therefore, 4/3 > 4/5

so, 1/3 : 1/4 > 1/5 : 1/4
