Answers
Step 1 : Obtain the given rations.
Step 2: Express each ratio in the simplest fraction form.
Step 3: Find the LCM of the denominators of the fractions obtained in
Step 2.
Step 4 : Make the denominators same for each fractions.
Step 5 : Compare the numerators. The fraction having larger numerator will be larger than the other.
Examples :
1) 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.
same solve
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3:5 or 5:8. You are asking for which is greater.
In order to to say which is greater,you have to make their denominator same.
Here the LCM of 3:5 and 5:8 is 40.
Now,
3×8:5×8 and 5×5:8×5
24:40 (3:5) and 25:40 (5:8).
Now 25:40 is greater than 24:40.
Therefore 5:8 is greater than 3:5.
