If we want to know which ratio is bigger or smaller, we can find it as below:-

A : B and C : D are the two ratios.

The same can be written in the following way:

and i.e. in the fractional form.

If "the numerator of the first ratio multiplied by the denominator of the
second ratio" is bigger than the "the numerator of the second ratio multi- plied by the denominator of the first ratio", then the first ratio is
bigger and vice versa. i.e. taking the above, if A*D > C*B, the A:B greater.
If A*D < C*B, then C:D is greater. I hope this clear now. Now taking the
problem,

35.00 : 1.40 and 48.00 : 1.44 Applying the above, we get

35.00*1.44 and 48.00*1.40
= 50.40 and 67.20 So 50.40 < 67.20
= the second ratio 48.00 : 1.44 is greater. Answer.
