Question

Which of the two ratios is larger?
(i) 4 : 5 or 8 : 15 (ii) 3 : 4 or 7 : 8 (iii) 1 : 2 or 2 : 1

Answer 1

Hey...

Your answer is (iii)

bcoz

in (i) 4:5 = 0.8 and 8 : 15 = 1.6

so when you add them up you will get 2.4

in (ii) 3:4 = 0.75 and 7: 8 = 0.85

so when you add them up you will get 1.6

in (iii) 1 : 2 = 0.5 and 2 :1 = 2

so when you add them up you will get 2.5

so according to me it is ( iii)

hope this helps you
