Question

Arrange 5/8, -3/16, -1/4, 17/32 in the descending order of their magnitudes.
With full solutions

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we find the LCM of 8,16,4,32 is 32

5/8x4/4=20/32

-3/16x2/2=-6/32

-1/4x8/8=-8/32

17/32x1/1=17/32

we write in the form of descending order

20/32>17/32>-6/32>-8/32

5/8>17/32>-3/16>-1/4.
