The maximum speed of the Elephant is 20 km/hr, the Lion is 80 km/hr and the Cheetah is 100 km/hr. Find the ratio of the speed and find which ratio is the least one.

  • A.The Elephant and the Lion
  • B.The Lion and the Cheetah
  • C.The Elephant and the Cheetah
  • D.The Lion and the Elephant

Answer: C

The speed ratios are Elephant : Lion = 20 : 80 = 1 : 4, Lion : Cheetah = 80 : 100 = 4 : 5, Elephant : Cheetah = 20 : 100 = 1 : 5, Lion : Elephant = 4 : 1.

The least ratio is 1 : 5, that of the Elephant and the Cheetah, option C.

Ratios are compared as fractions: 1/4 = 0.25 for the Elephant and the Lion, 4/5 = 0.8 for the Lion and the Cheetah, and 1/5 = 0.2 for the Elephant and the Cheetah. The smallest value is 0.2, so the Elephant to Cheetah ratio is the least. The Lion to Elephant ratio is 4, the largest.
