Question

Write a ratio value comparing 3 to a number, where the value of the ratio is greater than 3:5.

Answer 1

3:4 because 3/4 is greater than 3/5 3/4 equals 75% and 3/5 equals 60%. 75% is greater.

Answer 2

3:2

Explanation:

If we compare 3 to 2, we would have the ratio

`3:2`

Which means that they have a ratio equal to
`1.5`, which is greater than the given ratio 3:5, because

`(3)/(5)=0.60`

And we know that

`0.6<1.5`, or

`1.5>0.6`

Therefore, a ratio grater than 3:5 could be 3:2
