Answer:
No, Dale Isn't correct because 3:5 is greater than 2:10
Step-by-step explanation:
3:5 and 2:10 is the same as in [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{2}{10}[/tex]
First Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 5 and 10 is 10
Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 10
For the 1st fraction, since 5 × 2 = 10,
[tex]\frac{3}{5} =\frac{3*2}{5*2} =\frac{6}{10}[/tex]
Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 10 × 1 = 10,
[tex]\frac{2}{10} =\frac{2*1}{10*1} =\frac{2}{10}[/tex]
Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction
[tex]\frac{6}{10} >\frac{2}{10} Or\frac{3}{5} >\frac{2}{10}[/tex]
Hence, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] is Greater than [tex]\frac{2}{10}[/tex]
Hence, 3:5 is Greater than 2:10
