Question

7. Write the following ratios in descending order :
4:7,5: 14, 3: 14, 1:3​

Answer 1

4:7, 5:14, 3:14, 1:3

Take LCM of 3, 7, and 14 = 42

Rewrite the ratios in terms of the LCM

4/7 × 6/6 = 24:42

5/14 × 3/3 = 15:42

3/14 × 3/3 = 9:42

1/3 × 14/14 = 14:42

The ratios in descending order:

24:42, 15:42, 14:42, 9:42

Or,

4:7, 5:14,1:3, 3:14
