Question

What is the smallest ratio 3 to 4, 2/3, 10:12, 2 to 1

Answer 1

The smallest ratio would most likely be 2 to 1. Mainly because this ratio has the least factors involved.

Hope this Helped!

Answer 2

The smallest ratio is
`(2)/(3)`.

Explanation:

The given ratios are

`(3)/(4),(2)/(3),(10)/(12),(2)/(1)`

Find the LCM of denominator.

`LCM(4,3,12,1)=12`

Now make common denominator.

`(3* 3)/(4* 3),(2* 4)/(3* 4),(10)/(12),(2* 12)/(1* 12)`

`(9)/(12),(8)/(2),(10)/(12),(24)/(12)`

Now compare the numerators.

Since 8 is the least numerator, therefore the smallest ratio is
`(2)/(3)`.
