Question

Which of the following pair is greater? 5:8 or 4:5

Answer 1

Answer:

To check the pair we have to multiply numbers in both pair separately such that both denominator be same.

so we multiply 5 in first pair and 8 in second pair, so result : first 25:40, second 32:40

So it's clearly seen that second pair 4:5 is greater as numerator portion is greater in second case when denominator portion is same.
