Whether the ratios
Answer to Problem 10PPS
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
So, in reduced form the ratios are
Thus, the given ratios areequivalent.
