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.
Since the total includes the $60 for the parts, we have to subtract 60 from 528.75. Once we've found the difference (468.75), we can divide by the amount of hours (3.75). That leaves us with the answer, $125.
