In a jewelry store, rings make up 5\9 of the inventory. Earrings make up 4\15 of the inventory .How many times greater is the ring inventory Than the earring inventory?

2.083 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rings = 5/9 of inventory

Earrings = 4 /15 of inventory

How many times greater is the ring inventory Than the earring inventory?

To obtain the number of times ring inventory is greater than earring inventory:

Divide the fraction of inventory in ring / fraction of earring inventory

5/9 ÷ 4/15

5/9 * 15/4

= 5*15 / 9*4

= 75 / 36

= 2.083

Hence, ring inventory is 2.083 times more than earring inventory.
