Answer:
To compare the ratios in the tables, we can use the cross multiplication method. This method involves multiplying the antecedent of one ratio by the consequent of the other ratio and comparing the products. For example, to compare the ratio of kilograms to grams in table A with the ratio of centimeters to millimeters in table D, we can do:
5 x 50 = 250 8 x 20 = 160
Since 250 > 160, the ratio in table A is greater than the ratio in table D.
Using this method, we can compare the ratios in each table with the ratio in the table above. We get:
Table A: 8 x 128 = 1024 and 3 x 176 = 528. Since 1024 > 528, the ratio in table A is greater than the ratio in the table above. Table B: 9 x 20 = 180 and 6 x 50 = 300. Since 180 < 300, the ratio in table B is less than the ratio in the table above. Table C: 11 x 224 = 2464 and 14 x 176 = 2464. Since both products are equal, the ratio in table C is equal to the ratio in the table above. Table D: See example above.
Therefore, the correct answer is table A, which represents a ratio that is greater than the ratio in the table above.
