​

Answer 1

Given:

• Two ratios are given .
• One ratio is 1:4 & 6:30.

To Find:

• Which of them is greater.

Answer:

Given two ratios are 1:4 & 6:30.

Now we can observe here that one of them is in simplest form and other is not .

So, on further simplifying ,we have :

→ 6/30 = 6÷3/30÷3= 2/15 .

Now we will cross multiply them to find which of them is greater,

=> 1/4 & 2/15

=> 15 × 1 & 4×2

=> 15 & 8

Hence 1/4 is greater.
