4:5
explanation-

Express the given ratios as fraction

4 : 5 = 4/5 and 2 : 3 =2/3

Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3

The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3 is 15.

Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 15, we have

4/5 = (4 ×3)/(5 ×3) = 12/15 and 2/3 = (2 ×5)/(3 ×5) = 10/15

Clearly, 12 > 10

Now, 12/15 > 10/15

Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3.

Answer:

512 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The height perpendicular to the base is the leg of a right triangle with hypotenuse 10 in and other leg 8 in. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find it as ...

h² +8² = 10²

h² = 100 -64 . . . . . subtract 8²

h = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root of 36

Then the volume is found using ...

V = (1/3)Bh = (1/3)(16 in)²(6 in) = 512 in³

The volume is 512 cubic inches.

_____

The 8-inch dimension used above comes from half the distance between the center of one side of the base to the center of the opposite side. (16 in)/2 = 8 in.
