7:8 23:24 11:12
7:8 11:12 23:24

Answer 1

Answer: 23:24 11:12 7:8

Explanation:

The order that lists the ratios in order from greatest to least is the first option, 23:24 11:12 7:8. We can rewrite the ratios as fractions and divide them to find an equivalent decimal value. Then, we will compare these values.

`(23)/(24)` = 0.958333

`(11)/(12)` = 0.91666667

`(7)/(8)` = 0.875

0.958333 > 0.91666667 > 0.875, so 23:24 11:12 7:8 is the correct order.
