Question

Compare the ratios (5 : 6 ) and ( 3 : 4), find which ratio is larger.​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/6 is larger than 3/4 because 5/6 is closer to 1 whole. 5/6 is only 1/6th away from 1 whole while 3/4 is 1/4th from 1 whole. 1/6th is a smaller part or shorter distance therefore it is closer to making 1 whole. 3/4 is not greater than 5/6 and the answer to the question "Is 3/4 greater than 5/6?" is no.

Answer 2

Answer:

5:6 = 5/6

=0.83

3:4 =3/4

=0.75

since 0.83 is greater

5:6 is greater than 3:4
