Answer 1

To compare the ratios 16:18 and 5:6, we need to see if the ratios are equivalent or if one is greater than the other.

Looking at the first table:
8/9 =/= 16/18
16/18 = 16/18
24/27 =/= 16/18
32/36 =/= 16/18

From this, we can see that the ratio 16:18 is not equal to any of the ratios in the first table.

Looking at the second table:
5/6 = 5/6
10/12 = 5/6
15/18 =/= 5/6
20/24 =/= 5/6

From this, we can see that the ratio 5:6 is equal to the ratio 5:6 in the second table.

Therefore, the ratio 16:18 is greater than the ratio 5:6.
