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.
