Answer 2

Given :

• Ratios = 4:5 and 5:3​

To :

• the ratios

Steps :

• Here, we have to find the LCM.
• Then, make the denominator the LCM.
• Then, compare.

Solution :

⇒ Let's find the LCM.

LCM of 5 and 3 = 15

5 | 5,3

3 | 1, 3

  | 1, 1

LCM = 5 × 3 = 15

⇒ Making the denominator the LCM.

4:5 = 4/5  

= 4 × 3/5 × 3

= 12/15

= 12 : 5

5:3​ = 5/3

= 5 × 5/3 × 5

= 25/15

= 25 : 15

⇒ Now, let's compare.

→ 12 : 5 ≤ 25 : 15

→ 4 : 5 ≤ 5 : 3

• Therefore, the ratio 5 : 3 is greater than 4 : 5.
