use the given tables to compare the ratios 16:18 5:6 which ratio is greater the two ratios are equal 16:18 is greater more rows need to be added to the tables to be able to compare the ratios or 5:6 is greater.
To compare the ratios 16:18 and 5:6, we can simplify both ratios:
The ratio 16:18 simplifies to 8:9 by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
The ratio 5:6 cannot be simplified any further as there is no common divisor greater than 1.
Comparing the simplified ratios, 8:9 and 5:6, we can see that 8:9 is greater than 5:6.
Therefore, the ratio 16:18 is greater than the ratio 5:6.
To compare the ratios 16:18 and 5:6, we can simplify both ratios to their simplest form.
16:18 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
16 ÷ 2 = 8
18 ÷ 2 = 9
So, 16:18 simplifies to 8:9.
Similarly, 5:6 is already in its simplest form.
Now, we can compare the simplified fractions.
The simplified ratio 8:9 has a numerator of 8 and a denominator of 9.
The ratio 5:6 has a numerator of 5 and a denominator of 6.
Since 9 is greater than 6, the ratio 8:9 is greater than the ratio 5:6. Therefore, 16:18 is greater than 5:6.
To compare the ratios 16:18 and 5:6, we can simplify both ratios to their simplest form.
The ratio 16:18 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator (16) and the denominator (18) by their greatest common factor, which is 2. As a result, we get the simplified ratio 8:9.
Similarly, the ratio 5:6 cannot be simplified any further.
Now, we can compare the simplified ratios:
8:9 vs 5:6
To determine which ratio is greater, we can cross-multiply.
For the first ratio, cross-multiplying gives us 8 * 6 = 48, and for the second ratio, cross-multiplying gives us 5 * 9 = 45.
Since 48 is greater than 45, we can conclude that the ratio 8:9 is greater than the ratio 5:6.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 16:18 is greater.
