Question

Which of the ratio is smaller? 7:9 or 14:27 *​

Answer 1

it is 7:9 because

make 7:9 and 14:27 fractions

both have different denominators to look which is great we should make the denominators same

so we know 9 x 3= 27 and 27 x 1 = 27

so when we multiply the denominator with a number we should multiply the numerator with the same number so 7/9 x 3/3 = 21/27

then 14:27  x 1/1 = 14/27

then compare both

21/27 > 14/27

ok
