Question

Compare the ratios :

$3:4$and $51:68$

Answer 1

Compare the ratios:

To compare the ratios first we write them as fractions and then compare the fractions

$\Rightarrow$$3:4=$$\frac{3}{4}$ and $51:68=$$\frac{51}{68}$

Now we cross multiply the numerators and denominator of these fractions

$\Rightarrow 3\times 68$$=204$ and $4\times 51$$=204$

Since $204=204$, so $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{51}{68}$

Hence, $3:4=51:68$
