Question

Choose the ratio below that is equivalent to the greatest fraction.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Ratios can also be expressed as fractions. The first number will be your numerator while the second number will be your denominator.


`7:3 = (7)/(3) =2 (1)/(3)`

`8:4 = (8)/(4) = 2`

`9:5 = (9)/(5) = 1 (4)/(5)`

`2:7 = (2)/(7)`

You could then divide these fractions out by dividing the numerator by the denominator to see which is the largest, but we can already tell that 2 1/3, or 7:3, will be the largest, since none of the other fractions are that large.

Hope this helped you out! :-)
