which ratio is greater 3/5 or 3/4?
3/5
3/5
3/4
3/4
Neither. Both are equal.
The ratio 3/4 is greater than the ratio 3/5.
To determine which ratio is greater between 3/5 and 3/4, we can convert them into decimals.
To convert 3/5 into a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (5): 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6.
To convert 3/4 into a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4): 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75.
Comparing the decimals, we see that 0.75 is greater than 0.6. Therefore, the ratio 3/4 is greater than 3/5.
To determine which ratio is greater, we can compare the fractions using their cross products.
For the first ratio, 3/5, the cross product is 3 times 4, which is 12.
For the second ratio, 3/4, the cross product is 3 times 5, which is also 15.
Since 15 is greater than 12, we can conclude that the ratio 3/4 is greater than 3/5.
Suppose you are deciding between two types of crackers at the grocery store. You want to choose the box of crackers that has more fiber per cracker. Here is the information from the nutrition label:
Cracker A
Serving Size: 13 crackers
Fiber: 4 grams
Cracker B
Serving Size: 8 crackers
Fiber: 3 grams

They are the same.
They are the same.
Neither.
To determine which box of crackers has more fiber per cracker, we can divide the total fiber by the serving size.
For Cracker A:
4 grams of fiber / 13 crackers = approximately 0.31 grams of fiber per cracker.
For Cracker B:
3 grams of fiber / 8 crackers = approximately 0.38 grams of fiber per cracker.
Since 0.38 is greater than 0.31, we can conclude that Cracker B has more fiber per cracker.
