Answer 1

Given:

Two ratios are 3:7 and 5:9

Concept:

We have to equal any one of the ratio quantity

Calculation:

Multiply by 9 of first ratio

⇒ \(\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{9}{9}\)

⇒ \(\frac{27}{63}\)

Multiply by 7 of second ratio

⇒ \(\frac{5}{9} \times \frac{7}{7}\)

⇒ \(\frac{35}{63}\)

Denominators are Equal then Numerators are

⇒ 35>27

⇒ \(\frac{5}{9} > \frac{3}{7}\)

5:9 is the greatest ratio

∴ The Correct Answer is 5:9
