Answer:
The descending order is 16/7, 3/4, 5/7, 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ; To arrange ⅜, ¾, 5/7 and 16/7 in descending order
Solution : Let us make given fractions with equal denominator
i.e. taking LCM of 4,7, & 8 is 56
Writing the equivalent fractions of the given, we get
∴ 3/8 = 3x7/8x7 = 21/56
3/4 = 3 x14/4x14 = 42/56
5/7 = 5x8/7x8 = 40/56
16/7 = 16x8/7x8 = 128/56
The descending order is 128/56,42/56,40/56,21/56
= 16/7, 3/4, 5/7, 3/8
