To compare the ratios, we can divide the second number in each ratio by the first number.
For the first ratio, 8:9, 9 divided by 8 is approximately 1.125.
For the second ratio, 16:18, 18 divided by 16 is approximately 1.125.
Both ratios result in approximately 1.125. Therefore, the two ratios are equal.
Use the given tables to compare the ratios and . Which ratio is greater?
8 9
16 18
24 27
32 36
