Question

which ratio is grater 7:8 or 2:3

Answer 1

Here,

7:8 = 7/8
= 7×3/8×3
= 21/24

2:3 = 2/3
= 2×8/3×8
= 16/24

Now,

21/24 > 16/24

So,
7/8 > 2/3

Hence,
7:8 > 2:3

Answer :- The grater ratio is 7:8.

Answer 2

To figure out which fraction value is greater we first need to make the denominator of both fractions equal. So we take lcm of denominator values of both the fractions
LCM (8,3)= 24
Now the values can be rewritten as
7/8 =7*3/8*3 =21/24
2/3 =2*8/3*8 =16/24
Now since 21> 16
21/24 > 16/24
Or 7/8 > 2/3
