Question

What statement is true?

14/21 > 17/24
18/32 > 16/32
20/15 < 28/23
29/35 < 20/30

Answer 1

`(18)/(32)>(16)/(32)`

Explanation:

We need to find which statements are true.

Solution to find the same we will solve each statement and will conclude the same.

1.
`(14)/(21)>(17)/(24)`

Now On solving we get;

`(14)/(21) = 0.66`

`(17)/(24)=0.70`

So we can see that 0.70 > 0.66

Hence The given statement is False.

2.
`(18)/(32)>(16)/(32)`

Now On solving we get;

`(18)/(32)=0.5625`

`(16)/(32)= 0.5`

So we can see that 0.5625 > 0.5

Hence The given statement is True.

3.
`(20)/(15)<(28)/(23)`

Now On solving we get;

`(20)/(15) = 1.33`

`(28)/(23)=1.2`

So we can see that 1.33 > 1.2

Hence The given statement is False.

4.
`(29)/(35)<(20)/(30)`

Now On solving we get;

`(29)/(35)= 0.82`

`(20)/(30)= 0.66`

So we can see that 0.82 > 0.66

Hence The given statement is False.
