Question

which ratio is larger 1 : 2 or 13 : 27​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio 1 : 2 is bigger than ratio 13:27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio $a:b$ can be converted into $\frac{a}{b}$.

$1:2=\frac{1}{2}$

$13:27=\frac{13}{27}$

$\frac{1}{2} =\frac{27}{54}$

$\frac{13}{27} =\frac{26}{54}$

$\frac{27}{54} >\frac{26}{54}$

So, $\frac{1}{2} >\frac{13}{27}$.

∴Ratio 1 : 2 is bigger than ratio 13:27.
