Given:
1 ⅔ : 1/6
1:10
Determine if the ratios are the same.
Solution:
In order to determine if the ratios are teh same we must first equate the fraction to decimals. To do for 1/6 we divide the numerator by the denominator. For 1 ⅔ we divide the fraction and add the quotient to 1.
1/6
=0.166666…
1 ⅔
=1.6666…
It can be seen that 1 ⅔ is greater that 1/6 therefore we can conclude that the ratios are not the same.
Final answer:
Not the same.
