Answer:
[tex]1:2 > 3:8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Ratio_1 = 3:8[/tex]
[tex]Ratio_2 = 1:2[/tex]
Required
Compare both ratios
[tex]Ratio_1 = 3:8[/tex]
[tex]Ratio_2 = 1:2[/tex]
Multiply ratio 2 by 4
[tex]Ratio_1 = 3:8[/tex]
[tex]Ratio_2 = 1 * 4:2 * 4[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]Ratio_1 = 3:8[/tex]
[tex]Ratio_2 = 4:8[/tex]
Write both ratios as fractions
[tex]Ratio_1 = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio_2 = \frac{4}{8}[/tex]
Get decimal equivalent:
[tex]Ratio_1 = 0.375[/tex]
[tex]Ratio_2 = 0.5[/tex]
Comparing both, we have that
[tex]Ratio_2 > Ratio_1[/tex]
[tex]0.5 > 0.375[/tex]
Conclusively;
[tex]1:2 > 3:8[/tex]

3:8 < 1:2
