Arrange the following ratios in descending order: 3 : 2 ,4 : 3, 5 : 6 , 1 : 5

A6 : 5 > 4 : 3 > 3 : 2 > 1 : 5

B5 : 6 > 4 : 3 > 3 : 2 > 1 : 5

C3 : 2 > 4 : 3 > 5 : 6 > 1 : 5

D1 : 5 > 5 : 6 > 4 : 3 > 3 : 2

Answer:

C. 3 : 2 > 4 : 3 > 5 : 6 > 1 : 5

Read Explanation:

Convert each ratio into a fraction (or decimal) to compare:

  • (3:2=32=1.5)(3:2 = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5)

  • (4:3=431.33)(4:3 = \frac{4}{3} \approx 1.33)

  • (5:6=560.83)(5:6 = \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.83)

  • (1:5=15=0.2)(1:5 = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2)

Now arrange in descending order (largest to smallest):


3:2 > 4:3 > 5:6 > 1:5

Answer: 3 : C
