Put the two ratios across from each other with an equal between them. Multiply the lower number (denominator) by the top number (numerator) across the equals. The greater one tells you which is larger. What you have done is found common denominators equal to the product of the denominators.

What number is the golden ratio?
The golden ratio, or golden mean, or phi, is about 1.618033989. The golden ratio is the ratio of two quantities such that the ratio of the sum to the larger is the same as the ratio of the larger to the smaller. If the two quantities are a and b, their ratio is golden if a > b and (a+b)/a = a/b. This ratio is known as phi, with a value of about 1.618033989. Exactly, the ratio is (1 + square root(5))/2.
Two numbers are in the ratio 3 to 5. If 8 is added to both numbers the ratio becomes 2 to 3. What is the larger number?
The larger number is 48: it was 40.
What is the ratio known as the Golden Mean also called the Fibonacci Rectangle?
In order for two quantities to be in the Gold Ratio, also called the Golden Mean, then the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity has to be equal to the ratio of the larger quantity, to the smaller one. The Mathematical value of the Golden Mean is 1.6180339887.
What is the area of the larger hexagon of two similar hexagons which have sides in the ratio 3 to 5 and the area of the smaller is 81 sq m?
ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)² ratio of sides = 3 : 5 → ratio of areas = 3³ : 5² = 9 : 25 → area larger = 81 m² ÷ 9 × 25 = 225 m²
What ratio is larger 8 to 450 or 9 to 502?
9/502 is 0.85% larger than 8/450 .
Is there a silver ratio if there's a golden ratio?
yes, if the golden ratio is ((square root 5) +1)/2, then the silver ratio is (square root 2) +1. as the golden ratio is represented by phi, the silver ratio is represented by deltas. as two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one, two quantities are in the silver ratio if the ratio between the sum of the smaller plus twice the larger of those quantities and the larger one is the same as the ratio between the larger one and the smaller.
Which ratio is larger 8 to 450 or 9 to 502?
The ratio 9 to 502 is larger than the ratio 8 to 450.
What does the golden ratio means?
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.

The ratio of the diameter of the Moon to the diameter of the Earth is 0.25 Is the ratio for the Charon-Pluto system larger or smaller than this?
Larger; Charon is about half as big as Pluto.
What is the axle to wheel ratio?
the ratio of the diamiter of the axel to the diamiter of the weel have a smaller ratio to improve acceleration a larger ratio to improve distance or top speed
What is the ratio of 7 to 21?
The difference of the ratio is three. 21 is three times larger than 7
Two numbers are in the ratio 3 to 5. If 8 is added to both numbers the ratio becomes 2 to 3. What is the larger number?
The larger number is 48: it was 40.
When do you say two quantites to be in the golden ratio?
Two quantities are said to be in the Golden Ratio if the ratio of the larger to the smaller is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger. Algebraically, if X and Y are the two quantities and X<Y, then Y/X = (X+Y)/Y This gives the ratio as 0.5*[1 + sqrt(5)] = 1.61803...
What is the area of the larger trapezoid if the ratio is 12 to 18?
the answer is 122
What is the similarity ratio of a smaller cone with a height of 9 and a radius of 6 and a larger cone with a height of 15 and a radius of 10?
The smaller to the larger is a ratio of 6:10 or 3:5
Which is a larger ratio 3 to 10 or 4 to 15?
3 to 10 converts as decimal to 0.30 4 to 15 converstas decimal to 0.27 so 3 to 10 is larger ratio
