Question

The ratio of 3 to 4 and the ratio of 4 to 3___ the same number? A are not b are.

Answer 1

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

By definition, the ratio is a comparison between two different things. It can be written in:

Odd notation

`a:b`

Fractional notation

`(a)/(b)`

Or in words:

`a`
`to`
`b`

Given the ratio 3 to 4 and the ratio of 4 to 3, you can rewrite them the fractional form:

`(3)/(4)`

`(4)/(3)`

To know if these ratios are the same number, divide the numerator by the denominator of each one of them:

`(3)/(4)=0.75`

`(4)/(3) =1.33`

Therefore, the ratio of 3 to 4 and the ratio of 4 to 3 ARE NOT the same number.
