Compare the ratio 2:3 and 3:5. Which ratio is greater

EVALUATION

Here the given two ratios are 2:3 and 3:5

Now 2 : 3

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{2}{3} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{10}{15} }$

Again 3 : 5

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{3}{5} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{9}{15} }$

Since 10 > 9

$\displaystyle \sf{ \therefore \: \: \frac{10}{15} > \frac{9}{15} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \therefore \: \: \frac{2}{3} > \frac{3}{5} }$

Hence 2 : 3 is greater
