Compare 4:10 and 12:20 using fractions. Which ratio is smaller? How do you know?

The given information is expressed in ratio. However, a ratio is basically a fraction. So, 4:10 is just equal to 4/10 or 2/5 in simplified terms. Similarly, 12:20 is just equal to 12/20 or 6/5 in simplified terms. The smaller ratio is 2/5 because the numerator is less than the denominator. So, it follows that the answer is less than 1. The other ratio has a much greater numerator. So, we would expect that that would be greater than 1.

4:10

Step-by-step explanation:

4:10 and 12:20

a ratio is a fraction a fraction is a decimal and a decimal is a percent

so we can rewrite the numbers

4/10 and 12/20

find a common factor we can see that there is a 20 for the denominator. 4/10x2=8/20 and for 12/20 we don't have to do anything

8 is smaller than 12 so 4:10 is the smaller ratio

If you still don't get it think about this way:

4 apples:10 oranges

12 apples: 20 oranges

you can simplify so that 4/10 is 2/5 and 12/20 is 3/5

so 4/10 is smaller

reminder: whatever you do to one side you do to the other :)

Pls brainliest

answer: 1) twenty-seven times y

              2) twenty-seven multiplied by y

answer rather than having to add and subtract the measurements of the semi-circle, notice that the semicircle to the left of ad is actually identical in area to the blank semicircle-shaped space to the left of bc. so if we transferred the red semicircle into the blank space, we would end up with a square of side length 24 cm. the area of a square is s^2 = 24^2 = 676 cm^2.

u also answered this so i think u would know but i am here to
