5/6 = 0.8333
7/9 = 0.7778
11/12 = 0.9167
13/18 = 0.7222
⇒ The smallest decimal equivalent is for 13/18
∴ The smallest ratio among the given options is 13/18.
Alternate Method \(\frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{9}, \frac{11}{12}, \frac{13}{18} \)
LCM of 6, 9, 12, and 18 = 36
Now the fraction becomes
5/6 = 30/36
7/9 = 28/36
11/12 = 33/36
13/18 = 26/36
Now, compare and find the smallest numerator
Smallest = 26/36 = 13/18
∴ The smallest ratio among the given options is 13/18.
