Which ratio is greater? 3/5 or 3/4
A 3/5
B 3/4
C Neither. They are equal.
B 3/4
To determine which ratio is greater, we can compare them by finding their decimal equivalents.
Starting with 3/5, we can divide 3 by 5 to get 0.6 as the decimal equivalent.
Next, for 3/4, we divide 3 by 4 to get 0.75 as the decimal equivalent.
Comparing the decimal equivalents, we can see that 0.75 is greater than 0.6.
Therefore, 3/4 is greater than 3/5.
The correct answer is B) 3/4.
To determine which ratio is greater, you can compare them by finding a common denominator and comparing the numerators.
In this case, the common denominator for 3/5 and 3/4 is 20. To convert 3/5 to a fraction with a denominator of 20, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4. This gives you 12/20. To convert 3/4 to a fraction with a denominator of 20, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5. This gives you 15/20.
Now you can see that 12/20 is smaller than 15/20. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 3/4.
