Question

Choose the ratio below that is equivalent to the greatest fraction.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Ratios can also be expressed as fractions. The first number will be your numerator while the second number will be your denominator. 

$7:3 = \frac{7}{3} =2 \frac{1}{3}$
$8:4 = \frac{8}{4} = 2$
$9:5 = \frac{9}{5} = 1 \frac{4}{5}$
$2:7 = \frac{2}{7}$

You could then divide these fractions out by dividing the numerator by the denominator to see which is the largest, but we can already tell that 2 1/3, or 7:3, will be the largest, since none of the other fractions are that large. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
