Answer:
option A
Step-by-step explanation:
To find ratio less than the given ratio we will convert the denominator of each fraction to 24 and then compare
Given ratio is : [tex]\frac{15}{24}[/tex]
Given options
[tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 12 }{2 \times12} = \frac{12}{24}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7}{8} = \frac{7 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{21}{24}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{19}{24}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{6}{8} = \frac{6 \times 3}{8 \times 3} =\frac{18}{24}[/tex]
Now arrange in the ascending order , just check the numerator values.
[tex]\frac{12}{24} < \frac{15}{24} < \frac{18}{24} < \frac{19}{24} < \frac{21}{24}[/tex]
Therefore
: [tex]\frac{12}{24} = \frac{1}{2}\ is \ the\ ratio\ less\ than\ \frac{15}{24}[/tex]
