Answer:

2.083 times

Explanation:

Given that:

Rings = 5/9 of inventory

Earrings = 4 /15 of inventory

How many times greater is the ring inventory Than the earring inventory?

To obtain the number of times ring inventory is greater than earring inventory:

Divide the fraction of inventory in ring / fraction of earring inventory

5/9 ÷ 4/15

5/9 * 15/4

= 5*15 / 9*4

= 75 / 36

= 2.083

Hence, ring inventory is 2.083 times more than earring inventory.
