Express the given ratios as fraction
13: 17= 13/17 and 351 : 189=351/189
Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 17 and 189
The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 17 and 189 is 3213.
Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 3213, we have
13/17= (13×189)/(17×189) = 2457/3213 and 351/189 = (351×17)/(189×17) = 5967/3213
Clearly, 5967 > 2457
Now, 351/189 > 13/17
Therefore, 351:189 > 13:17
