Question

Is 3:5 equivalent to 4:7 ? Why or why not ?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/5 = 0.60 and 4/7 = 0.57.

Thus, they are not equal.

.

Also, when we multiply by 35 into both the numbers we get,

35x3/5= 21 and 35x4/7= 20.

Hence, it is clearly visible that 21 is greater than 20. So, 3/5 must be greater than 4/7.

3/5 > 4/7.
