The ratio 3/4 is greater than the ratio 3/5.
To determine which ratio is greater, we can compare the fractions by finding a common denominator and then comparing the numerators.
In this case, the common denominator for 5 and 4 is 20.
The first fraction, 3/5, can be rewritten as 12/20 (multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4).
The second fraction, 3/4, can be rewritten as 15/20 (multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5).
Comparing the numerators, we can see that 15/20 is greater than 12/20.
Therefore, the ratio 3/4 (or 15/20) is greater than the ratio 3/5 (or 12/20).
To determine which ratio is greater between ⅗ and ¾, we need to compare their decimal equivalents.
First, let's convert ⅗ to a decimal. Divide 5 by 3: 5 ÷ 3 = 1.67
Next, let's convert ¾ to a decimal. Divide 3 by 4: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
Comparing the decimal equivalents, we see that 1.67 is greater than 0.75. Therefore, the fraction ⅗ is greater than ¾.
