Whether the ratios
Answer to Problem 55SGR
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The pair of ratios:
Concept Used:
- Equivalent fractions are those fractions which have different numerators and denominators, but represent the same value or number. Equivalent fractions are reduced to the same fraction in their simplified forms.
- Least Common Denominator (LCD) is the smallest number that is divisible by the denominator of all the fractions that are being added or subtracted.
- If two fractions have the same denominator, then we can compare them by their numerators. The fraction with the greater numerator will be greater than the other fraction.
Calculation:
In order to check whether the fractions
Here observe that in the first fraction
Also observe that in the second fraction
So, in reduced form the ratios are
Thus, the given ratios are equivalent.
