Question

What ratio is less than 15:24.these are the answer choices  > 1:2, 7:8, 19:24, 6:8

Answer 1

Hello again, and thank you for asking your questions here on brainly.

Short answer: 1:2

Why?

To find this out, we must simplify 15:24. 15:24 can be simplified to 5/8. So, which is 5/8 larger than? (5/8 < 19/24) ~~ (5/8 < 7/8) ~~ (5/8 < 6/8) ~~ (5/8 > 1/2)
5/8 > 1/2

Hope this helped you! ♥

Answer 2

15:24 is divisible by 3, simplifying it down to 3:8. 19:24, 7:8, and 6:8 are all obviously larger than this ratio, and 1:2 can be equalized to 4:8, which is also bigger than 3:8, so none of the answer choices are less than 15:24.
