Question

which is greater ratio 2:4 or 3:4 5:6 or 7:8
11:12 or 3:5
​

Answer 1

11:12 is greater ratio 2:4 or 3:4 5:6 or 7:8

11:12 or 3:5

Answer 2

Answer:

3:4, 7:8, 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

2:4 is in a simplified fraction of 1/2, while 3:4 is in a simplified fraction of 3/4 (greater than one half)

Thus, 3:4 is larger

5:6 is in a fraction of 5/6 while 7:8 is in a fraction of 7/8. To determine which is larger, make both numbers have the same denominator. The LCM between 6 and 8 is 24. To make them both equal, multiply both numerators and denominators by 4 and 3 respectively ( the amount of times needed to get both to 24):

20/24(5:6) and 21/24(7:8)

Thus, 7:8 is greater

Finally, 55:60 compared to 36:60 makes 3:5 greater than 11:12 by using the same process listed above
