Answer:

Convert these ratios into fractions and then into their actual values.

(This is just one way of solving this, there are other plentiful ways you could use to solve this.)

2 : 9

Will become

2/9

Which will result in

0.222...

3 : 18

Will become

3/18

Which will result in

0.1666...

1 : 3

Will become

1/3

Which will result in

0.333...

Now, compare these numbers:-

0.222..., 0.1666..., and 0.333...

And out of these three numbers, 0.333... is by far the greatest number out of all of these ratios.

Therefore, the ratio 1:3 is the largest ratio.
