Question

Greatest ratio of 9:6,5:12
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Change values to whole numbers.

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

Convert 3 1/8

3 1/8 = 25/8

We now have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 5 : 25/8

Convert the whole number 5 to a fraction with 1 in the denominator.

We then have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 5/1 : 25/8

Convert fractions to integers by eliminating the denominators.

Our two fractions have unlike denominators so we find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite our fractions as necessary with the common denominator

LCD(5/1, 25/8) = 8

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

9:6=9/6

5:12=5/12

9/6,5/12

LCM of 6 and 12 is 12.

so

$\frac{18 \: \: \: 5}{12 }$

Hence, 9/6 or 9:6 is greater.
