Which lists the ratios in order from greatest to least?

Question

23:24, 11:12, 7:8
23:24, 7:8, 11:12
7:8, 23:24, 11:12
7:8, 11:12, 23:24

Answer 1

To compare the ratios 23:24, 11:12, and 7:8, we can convert them to decimal form:

1. 23:24 = \( \frac{23}{24} \approx 0.9583 \)
2. 11:12 = \( \frac{11}{12} \approx 0.9167 \)
3. 7:8 = \( \frac{7}{8} = 0.875 \)

Now that we have them in decimal form, we can order them from greatest to least:

• 23:24 (0.9583)
• 11:12 (0.9167)
• 7:8 (0.875)

Thus, the correct order from greatest to least is:

23:24, 11:12, 7:8.

So the answer is 23:24, 11:12, 7:8.
