Question

Arrange the following fractions in descending order 1/2,2/3,3/4,1/5,3/5

Answer 1

1/2,2/3,3/4,1/5,3/5

LCM of 2,3,4 and 5 is 60.

=30/60,40/60,45/60,12/60,36/60

Descending order (based on the numerator)

45/60>40/60>36/60>30/60>12/60

OR

3/4>2/3>3/5>1/2>1/5

Answer 2

HERE'S YOUR ANSWER! ♥️

1/2,2/3,3/4,1/5,3/5 in descending order...

1) First Find The LCM

LCM = 2 × 2× 3× 5

= 60

2) Now Multiply the fractions by a number which makes the number 60 in denominator,

1/2 × 30/30 = 30/60

2/3 × 20/20 = 40/60

3/4 × 15/15 = 45/60

1/5 × 12/12 = 12/60

3/5 × 12/12 = 36/60

The Numbers that came in the result are same to the number that multiplied.

Means the first number 1/2 = 30/60.

3) Now Arrange in Descending order.

So we can now arrange the numbers in Descending order.

Descending order means the numbers in the series are bigger to smaller.

Descending order, 12/60, 30/60, 36/60, 40/60, 45/60.

In the Orgin Number, Descending order = 1/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4

Because

12/60 = 1/5

30/60 =1/2

36/60 =3/5

40/60 =2/3

45/60 =3/4
