To compare the ratios 16:18 and 5:6, we need to find the equivalent form of both ratios.
First, we can simplify the ratio 16:18 by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
16 ÷ 2 = 8
18 ÷ 2 = 9
Therefore, the simplified ratio of 16:18 is 8:9.
Next, we can simplify the ratio 5:6 by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 1 in this case as there are no common factors other than 1.
Therefore, the simplified ratio of 5:6 remains as 5:6.
Now we can compare the simplified ratios.
8:9 and 5:6
Since the numerator (8) and denominator (9) of the first ratio are larger than the numerator (5) and denominator (6) of the second ratio, we can conclude that the ratio 16:18 (or 8:9) is greater than the ratio 5:6.
