So I would change the form of the two ratios. They can also be represented as fractions.

10:21 ⇒ 10/21 = 0.48

21:93 ⇒ 21/93 = 0.23

Therefore, (since 0.48 > 0.23) the ratio 10:21 is greater

10 : 21 OR 21 : 93 ?

Simply change everything into fractions.

Basically, take out the ":" and turn those into fraction symbols (/)

So, 10:21 turns into 10/21

And, 21:93 turns into 21/93

Then, turn our fractions into decimals.

To do so, we simply get a calculator (or do it by hand) and divide 10 by 21 for our first fraction (10/21)

10 ÷ 21 = 0.4761

Round this to the nearest hundredth.

0.4761 = 0.48

Then, we do the same for our second fraction (21/93)

21 ÷ 93 = 0.2258

But, we want it to only be 2 decimal points, so simply round it to the nearest hundredth value.

0.2258 = 0.23

Then, compare our two decimals.

Which is bigger...?

0.48 OR 0.23

Obviously, 0.48 is the larger number.

So, 10:21 is the larger ratio.

~Hope I helped!~
