Q.Which of the following is greater: (a) The ratio of 8 meters to 10 meters (b) 20% of \(4\frac{2}{5}\)

(a) The ratio of 8 meters to 10 meters = 8:10 = \(\cfrac{8}{10} = \cfrac{80}{100}\) (b) 20% of \(4\frac{2}{5}\) = \(\cfrac{22}{\cancel{5}} \times \cfrac{\cancel{20}4}{100} = \cfrac{88}{100}\) \(\because 88 \gt 80 \therefore \cfrac{88}{100} \gt \cfrac{80}{100}\) \(\therefore\) (b) 20% of \(4\frac{2}{5}\) is greater.
