Help me pls. my teacher asks a question and we are doing ratio. what is the smaller ratio, 32:24 or 30:22?
I do not understand how to find the smaller ratio, I have five pages of notes and she hasn't explained, am I supposed to simplify and add and see which total is smaller?

32:24

Step-by-step explanation:

So ratios are like fractions

You can write 32:24 like

and 30:22 like

Like fractions you can simplify them, you want to get the denominator or the bottom numbers the same so you can compare the top number.

        One way to make the denominator the same is to do 24x22=528

then do 32x22=704          then 30x24=720

Then that gives you    Here you can see that 704 is smaller then 720

and since 704 is the same as 32:24

32:24 is the smaller ratio

4.28095238095 that is the answer
