In order to compare the ratios 3:5 and 2:3, we can create a table that shows the equivalent ratios for both.
For 3:5, we can calculate the equivalent ratios by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number. Let's multiply by 2:
3 x 2 = 6 and 5 x 2 = 10
So the equivalent ratio for 3:5 is 6:10.
Similarly, for 2:3, let's multiply by 5:
2 x 5 = 10 and 3 x 5 = 15
So the equivalent ratio for 2:3 is 10:15.
By comparing the equivalent ratios, we can see that 6:10 is greater than 10:15. Therefore, the ratio 3:5 is greater than 2:3.
