Question

Which ratio is smaller, 32 : 24 or 30 : 22?​

Answer 1

32:24 -> 30:22

You need to get one number from each ratio to be equal

I’m gonna get 32 and 30 to equal

*first divide both ratios by 2(don’t have to do this just makes the no.’s smaller)
32:24
16:12

30:22
15:11

Multiply 16:12 by 15
And multiply 15:11 by 16

32:24 -> 16:12 -> 240:180
30:22 -> 15:11 -> 240:176

176<180
Therefore ratio 30:22 is smaller

Answer 2

32 : 24 is smaller

Explanation:

32 : 24 = 32/56, reduced is 4/7

30 : 22 = 30/52, reduced is 15/26

a common denominator is 182:

4/7 = 104/182

15/26 = 105/182
