Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

$\dfrac{7}{8} , \dfrac{1}{2} , \dfrac{3}{4} , \dfrac{1}{5}$

To find:

Arrange the given fractions in ascending order.

Solution:

$\dfrac{7}{8} , \dfrac{1}{2} , \dfrac{3}{4} ,\dfrac{1}{5}$

LCM of 8, 2, 4, and 5 is 40

$=> \dfrac{7}{8} \times \dfrac{5}{5} = \dfrac{35}{40}$

$=> \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{20}{20} = \dfrac{20}{40}$

$=> \dfrac{3}{4} \times \dfrac{10}{10} = \dfrac{30}{40}$

$=> \dfrac{1}{5} \times \dfrac{8}{8} = \dfrac{8}{40}$

$=> \dfrac{35}{40} , \dfrac{20}{40} , \dfrac{30}{40} , \dfrac{8}{40}$

Descending order:

$\dfrac{35}{40} > \dfrac{30}{40} > \dfrac{20}{40} > \dfrac{8}{40}$

$\dfrac{7}{8} > \dfrac{3}{4} > \dfrac{1}{2} > \dfrac{1}{5}$
