Question

which of the two ratios is larger 4:5 or 8:15

Answer 1

4:5 is larger than 8:15, as 4:5 is basically 4/5, which can be written as 12/15, therefore 12/15 > 8/15.

Answer 2

Answer:

4:5 is larger than 8:15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given two ratios are 4:5 and 8:15.

Here we want to find which ratio is larger.

For solving this question we need to convert these ratio into fraction.

Then by fraction's rule,we can calculate which one is larger.

For example,$\frac{1}{3}$and $\frac{2}{3}$are two fractions.

Now,

$\frac{1}{3} = 0.3$and $\frac{2}{3} = 0.67$

Here $\frac{2}{3}$is larger than $\frac{1}{3}$

Here given two ratios 4:5 and 8:15.

$4:5 = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8$

and

$8:15 = \frac{8}{15} = 0.53$

It is clear that 0.8 is larger than 0.53.

So, 4:5 is larger here.
