CISCE: Class 10

Definition: Commensurable Quantities

If the ratio between any two quantities of the same kind and having the  same unit can be expressed exactly by the ratio between two integers, the quantities are said to be commensurable

Example:

\[2\frac{1}{3}:3\frac{1}{2}=\]\[\frac{7}{3}:\frac{7}{2}\] = 2:3→ ratio of integers → commensurable.

CISCE: Class 10

Definition: Incommensurable Quantities

If the ratio cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, the quantities are said to be incommensurable.

Example:

\[\sqrt{3}\] : 5 cannot be written as a ratio of integers → incommensurable.
