Question

Which of the following pairs of ratio is greater?

5:8 or 4:5​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{cyan}{grey}{Solution:–}}$

$= \frac{5}{8} \: and \: \frac{4}{5}$

$= \frac{5}{8} \: \times \frac{4}{5}$

$= 5 \times 5 = 25$

$= 8 \times 4 = 32$

$= 25 < 32$

$= \frac{5}{8} < \frac{4}{5}$

$= 5:8 < 4:5$

Answer 2

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5:8 and 4:5

Now

LCM of 8 and 5 is 40

so

On multiplying 40 in given ratio we get

5*40/8= 25

and

4*40/5= 32

so

32> 25

4/5 > 5/8
