\begin{gathered} \text{Total numbers cards=6} \\ \text{odd numbers cards=4} \\ \text{ratio}=(4)/(6)=(2)/(3) \\ \text{ratio =}(2)/(3) \\ (2)/(3)\approx0.67 \\ now\text{ }we\text{ }are\text{ }going\text{ to find the ratio that is l}ees\text{ than the ratio we calculated} \\ (7)/(8)=0.875 \\ (7)/(9)\approx0.78 \\ (3)/(5)=0.6 \\ \\ \text{The ratio that is l}ees\text{ than the ratio of odd number card } \\ \text{to total cards is }(3)/(5) \end{gathered}
