5.871 is greater than 5.781 because in the tenths place 8 is greater than 7. Also if you round the numbers to the nearest tenth, you get 5.9 versus 5.8
Answer:
a ratio is a comparison of two numbers or measurements
the objects being compared are called the terms of the ratio.
if the tow terms are different units this is called a rate.
example:
David covers 600 miles in 8 hours and John covers 380 miles in 5 hours. Who is driving faster ?
solution:
Distance covered by David in 1 hour is
= 600 / 8
= 75 miles per hour
Distance covered by John in 1 hour is
= 380 / 5
= 76 miles per hour
When we compare the above unit rates (Distance covered in 1 hour), John is driving faster than David.
In short the answer is 5/25 or 1/5 either works.
True, every number is a complex number.
I hope this helps. :)
