Question

Arrange the following ratios in ascending order of magnitude:

(4 : 9), (6 : 11), (7 : 13) and (27 : 50)

Answer 1

Converting into decimals: $$\frac{4}{9} \approx 0.444$$

$$\frac{6}{11} \approx 0.545$$

$$\frac{7}{13} \approx 0.538$$

$$\frac{27}{50} = 0.540$$

Ascending order: $$0.444 < 0.538 < 0.540 < 0.545$$.

Ascending order: $$(4 : 9), (7 : 13), (27 : 50), (6 : 11)$$.
