Question

which ratio is greater, 5:4 or 7:6
can explain the problem ​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can write :

$5 : 4 \: as \: \frac{5}{4} \: and \: 7 : 6 \: as \: \frac{7}{6} .$

By cross multiplication :

$\: \: \: \: \frac{5}{4} \: and \frac{7}{6} \\ =( 5 \times 6)and(4 \times 7) \\ = 30 \: and \: 28$

$Clearly, 30 > 28 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = > \frac{5}{4} > \frac{7}{6}$

Hence,5:4 is greater.

Answer 2

Answer:

5:4 and 7:6

5\4 and 7\6

5x6 =30

7x4= 28

30>28

therefore

5:4 is greater
