Answer 2

To arrange :  following numbers in the ascending order .  

Given data : $\frac{1}{4} ,\frac{5}{6} , \frac{5}{8} ,\frac{7}{12} , \frac{1}{2}$

Solution :

• To arrange numbers in ascending order is to write numbers from smaller to bigger.

• Therefore , to arrange given rational numbers in the ascending order we need to equalize denominators of all the rational numbers by takin LCM .

• Therefore , LCM = $24$

• Now , multiplying numerators by same numbers as multiplied by denominator to make LCM .

• Therefore, we get , $\frac{1\times 6}{24} , \frac{5\times 4}{24} , \frac{5\times 3}{24}, \frac{7\times 2}{24} ,\frac{1\times 12}{24}$

                                        $= \frac{6}{24} ,\frac{20}{24} ,\frac{15}{24} ,\frac{14}{24} , \frac{12}{24}$

        Ascending order :   $\frac{6}{24} < \frac{12}{24} < \frac{14}{24} <\frac{15}{24} < \frac{20}{24}$  

Hence , ascending order is :  $\frac{1}{4} < \frac{1}{2} < \frac{7}{12} < \frac{5}{8} < \frac{5}{6}$
