Answer:

mark as BRAINLIEST one

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Given 3: 4 or 9: 16

LCM for 4 and 16 is 16

3: 4 can be written as = 3/4

3/4 × (4/4) = 12/16

And we have 9/16 Clearly 12 > 9

Therefore 3: 4 > 9: 16

(ii) Given 15: 16 or 24: 25

LCM for 16 and 25 is 400

15: 16 can be written as = 15/16 15/16 × (25/25) = 375/400

And we have 24/25 24/25 × (16/16) = 384/400 Clearly 384 > 375 Therefore 15: 16 < 24: 25
