Question

Compare the following ratios: 

$$\left(\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{5}\right)$$ and (5 : 2)

Answer 1

Compare $$\left(\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{5}\right)$$ and (5 : 2):

$$\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1/2}{1/5} = \frac{5}{2}$$.

Both ratios are equal to $$\frac{5}{2}$$.

Therefore, $$\left(\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{5}\right) = (5 : 2)$$.
