Which of the following ratio is smallest?
-
A.
17 : 39
-
B.
23 : 48
-
C.
10 : 36
-
D.
15 : 33
Correct Answer:
C. 10 : 36
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option C: 10 : 36.
To determine which ratio is the smallest, we can convert each ratio into a decimal by dividing the first number by the second: - Option A (17 : 39) is approximately 0.435.
- Option B (23 : 48) is approximately 0.479.
- Option C (10 : 36) is approximately 0.277.
- Option D (15 : 33) is approximately 0.454.Comparing these values, 0.277 is the lowest decimal, making 10 : 36 the smallest ratio among the given choices. Alternatively, when simplified, 10 : 36 reduces to 5 : 18, which is less than one-third, while the other ratios are all closer to or greater than one-half.
