Answer:

Explanation:

LCM of 5 and 25=25

Now,

18/5=18x5/5x5=90/25

72/25=72/25

Since 90/25>72/25

Hence,

18/5 is greater than 72/75

18/5. Multiply the 5 as many times as you need to to get to 25. Then as many times as you multiplied the bottom multiply the top the same so it would be 5 times on both sides making the ratio. 90/25
