Question

arrange in ascending order. 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, -1/5, -7/12​

Answer 1

40/60,45/60,50/60,-12/60,-35/60

ascending order=-35/60<-12/60<40/60<45/60<50/60

=-7/12<-1/5<2/3<3/4<5/6.

Answer 2

Answer: We need to convert all fractions to have a common denominator to arrange them in an ascending or descending order.

For that, we need to get the LCM of all the denominators

LCM of the denominators 3, 4, 6, 5 and 12 is 60

2/3 = 40/60.

3/4 = 45/60.

5/6 = 50/60.

-1/5 = -12/60.

-7/12 = -35/60.

In ascending order:

-35/60, -12/60, 40/60, 45/60, 50/60.

So when arranged in ascending order:

-7/12, -1/5, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6.
