Question

compare the ratio - 7:9 and 1:6

Answer 1

hi mate I have no time right now bye this way u can compare the ratio bye have a good day

Compare the ratios 4 : 5 and 2 : 3.

Solution:

Express the given ratios as fraction

4 : 5 = 4/5 and 2 : 3 =2/3

Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3

The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3 is 15.

Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 15, we have

4/5 = (4 ×3)/(5 ×3) = 12/15 and 2/3 = (2 ×5)/(3 ×5) = 10/15

Clearly, 12 > 10

Now, 12/15 > 10/15

Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3.

Answer 2

7:9 = 7/9
1:6 = 1/6
lcm of 9 , 6 = 18
7/9 = 14/18
1/6 = 3/18
14/18 < 3/18
therefore 7:9 is greater than 1:6
