Question

The smallest ratio out of 1:1, 2:1, 1:3 and 3:1 is

Answer 1

Answer:

1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

1:1=1

2:1=2

3:1=3

1:3=0.33

Answer 2

The smallest ratio out of 1 : 1, 2 : 1, 1 : 3 and 3 : 1 = 1 : 3( i.e., 0.3333...)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

1 : 1, 2 : 1, 1 : 3 and 3 : 1

To find, the smallest ratio out of 1 : 1, 2 : 1, 1 : 3 and 3 : 1 = ?

∴ 1 : 1 =$\dfrac{1}{1}=1$

2 : 1 =$\dfrac{2}{1}$ = 2

1 : 3 = $\dfrac{1}{3}$ = 0.3333... and

3 : 1  = $\dfrac{3}{1}$ = 3

∴ The smallest ratio out of 1 : 1, 2 : 1, 1 : 3 and 3 : 1 = 1 : 3( i.e., 0.3333...)

Thus, the smallest ratio out of 1 : 1, 2 : 1, 1 : 3 and 3 : 1 = 1 : 3( i.e., 0.3333...)
