Answer 14

The question is who has the highest ratio of completed to not completed chores.

First, let's look at the ratios. Then we need to compare them.
Jan: 8/3
Marsha: 9/4
Cindy: 5/3
Those are the ratios.

To compare them quickly, take a calculator and find a decimal for each ratio.
Jan: 8/3 = 2.666...
Marsha: 9/4 = 2.25
Cindy: 5/3 = 1.666...

Now you can compare easily. Which ratio is the greatest number of the three?

Answer 15

Oh so when comparing ratios, for example. 5/4 3/5 7/4
I would divide 5 by 4, and so on?
And Jan has the greatest number. @mathstudent55

Answer 16

oh.....

Answer 17

Answer 18

@Zeronknight Yes, that is correct.
Since Jan's ratio is 2.666..., and that is greater than 2.25 and than 1.666..., Jan's ratio is the greatest in this problem.
