Question

arrange in descending order: 7/12,1/6,11/12,17/24​

Answer 1

To arrange these fractions in descending order, let us first convert them into each other's equivalents .

$\frac{7}{12} = \frac{(7 \times 2)}{24}$

$\color{olive} \frac{7}{12} =\color{hotpink} \frac{14}{24}$

$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{(1 \times 4)}{24}$

$\color{olive} \frac{1}{6} =\color{hotpink} \frac{4}{24}$

$\frac{11}{12} = \frac{(11 \times 2)}{24}$

$\color{olive} \frac{11}{12} =\color{hotpink} \frac{22}{24}$

$\color{olive} \frac{17}{24} = \color{hotpink} \frac{17}{24}$

Therefore the fractions in descending order :-

$\color{hotpink}\bold{ = \frac{11}{12} > \color{olive} \frac{17}{24} > \color{hotpink}\frac{7}{12} > \color{olive} \frac{1}{6} }$
