Answer 1

To compare the ratios 16:18 and 5:6, we can simplify both ratios:

The ratio 16:18 simplifies to 8:9 by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

The ratio 5:6 cannot be simplified any further as there is no common divisor greater than 1.

Comparing the simplified ratios, 8:9 and 5:6, we can see that 8:9 is greater than 5:6.

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