Question

Which ratio is less than 15/24? Help!!! (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)

Answer 1

option A

Explanation:

To find ratio less than the given ratio we will convert the denominator of each fraction to 24 and then compare

Given ratio is :
`(15)/(24)`

Given options

`(1)/(2) = (1 * 12 )/(2 *12) = (12)/(24)`

`(7)/(8) = (7 * 3)/(8 * 3) = (21)/(24)`

`(19)/(24)`

`(6)/(8) = (6 * 3)/(8 * 3) =(18)/(24)`

Now arrange in the ascending order , just check the numerator values.

`(12)/(24) < (15)/(24) < (18)/(24) < (19)/(24) < (21)/(24)`

Therefore

:
`(12)/(24) = (1)/(2)\ is \ the\ ratio\ less\ than\ (15)/(24)`
