Question

Which ratio is greater than 5 over 8

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Hope this helps! Enjoy!

Answer 2

Hello there! Your answer would be: B. 3/4!

To solve this equation, you need to simplify the other fractions to start:

12/24 = 1/2

3/4 = 3/4

15/24 = 5/8

4/12 = 1/3

Looking at our options, we can straight away eliminate A and D. This is because 5/8 is greater then 4/8 (and 4/8 = 1/2), and 1/3 and 1/2 are both equal to and below 1/2.

Now, we have 5/8 and 3/4. Since the question is asking which is greater, we can eliminate 5/8, since it has the same value.

Now we have 3/4 left, which is your correct answer, but if you wanted to check it you could always multiply the numerator and denominator by 2/2. you get 6/8, which is in fact greater than 5/8.

Hope this helps, have a great day!
