Question

Which of the following ratio is greatest and which is the least? 1:2 4:5 ; 3:4

Answer 1

Answer:

4:5 > 3:4 > 1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

1:2 , 4:5 , 3:4

1:2 = 1/2

4:5 = 4/5

3:4 = 3/4

1/2 , 4/5, 3/4

Compare by making them like fractions.

LCM of 2,5,4 = 20

= 1x10/2x10 , 4x4/5x4 , 3x5/4x5

= 10/20 , 16/20 , 15/20

⇒ 16/20 > 15/20 > 10/20

∴ 4:5 > 3:4 > 1:2
