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.

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.
The larger number is 48: it was 40.
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.
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
9/502 is 0.85% larger than 8/450 .
