Out of the ratios $7: 20 ; 13: 25 ; 17: 30$ and $11: 15$, find the smallest one.
To do: To find the smallest one out of the ratios $7: 20 ; 13: 25 ; 17: 30$ and $11: 15$.
Solution:
Given ratios are $7: 20 ; 13: 25 ; 17: 30$ and $11: 15$.
Let's express the given ratios in fraction form equalise the fractions:
$7: 20=\frac{7}{20}=\frac{7}{20}\times\frac{15}{15}=\frac{105}{300}$
$13: 25=\frac{13}{25}=\frac{13}{25}\times\frac{12}{12}=\frac{156}{300}$
$17: 30=\frac{17}{30}=\frac{17}{30}\times\frac{10}{10}=\frac{170}{300}$
$11: 15=\frac{11}{15}=\frac{11}{15}\times\frac{20}{20}=\frac{220}{300}$
On comparing, $\frac{105}{300}=\frac{7}{20}$ is the smallest.
Thus, $7: 20$ is the smallest ratio.
