Answer 1

To compare the ratios of 3:5 and 2:3, we can convert them to their decimal forms:

1. For the ratio 3:5: \[ \frac{3}{5} = 0.6 \]

2. For the ratio 2:3: \[ \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.6667 \]

Now, we can compare the decimal values:

• \(0.6\) (for 3:5) is less than \(0.6667\) (for 2:3).

Thus, we conclude that:

3:5 < 2:3

So the appropriate response is:

• 3:5 < 2:3 (ratio of 3 to 5 is less than ratio of 2 to 3).
