Before, finding the answer. Let's find out how what we have to find in this answer.
- In this question, we are asked to which ratio is larger.
_________________
Given :
- 4:11 or 17:30
To find :
- the larger ratio
Solution :
⇒ To find which ratio is greater, we have to first make the denominator the same. So, to find that, we have to first find the Least Common multiple of the denominators.
- LCM of 11 and 30 = 330.
⇒ Now,
= 4 × 30/11 × 30
= 120/330
= 17 × 11/30 × 11
= 187/130
⇒ Now, we can compare and see which is larger.
= 120/330 ≤ 187/130
= 4:11 ≤ 17:30
- Therefore, 17:30 is the larger ratio.
