Explaining How to Compare Ratios Using Fractions Compare these three ratios using fractions. 3 to 2 5:6 8 to 12 Think about the
steps you could take to compare the ratios using fractions. The first step is to write the ratios as fractions. The next step is to use a to rewrite the fractions. Finally, compare the to help you order the ratios.
The first step is writing the ratios as fractions.
The next step is to use a <u>common denominator</u>to rewrite the fractions.
Finally, compare the <u>numerators</u>to help you order the ratios.
<h3>What is a ratio?</h3>
A ratio is a mathematical expression that's used to denote the proportion of two (2) or more quantities with respect to one another and the total quantities.
<h3>The parts of a fraction.</h3>
In Mathematics, a fraction comprises two (2) main parts and these include:
Numerator
Denominator
3 to 2 = 3/2
5:6 = 5/6
8 to 12 = 3/2
Thus, a <u>common denominator</u>of 12 can be used to rewrite the fractions and then you should compare the <u>numerators</u>to order the ratios in an ascending order.
