fraction to make the denominator same .
LCM of 15, 24, and 12
= 3×2×2×2×5×3×3= 1080
= 13/18= 13×60/18×60= 780/1080
= 8/15= 8×70/15×70= 560/1080
= 17/24= 17×45/24×45= 765/1080
= 7/12= 7×90/12/90= 630/1080
Now we compare the like fraction
780/1080, 560/1080, 765/1080, 630/1080
comparing numerator we find that
780> 765> 630> 560

The descending order of the fraction is
= 13/18> 17/24> 7/12> 8/

Step-by-step explanation:
l.C.M of 6 , 3 and 12 is 12
- -9/6 × 2/2 = -18/12
- -4/3 × 4/4 = -16/12
- -17/12 × 1/1 = -17/12
- -16/12 ; -17/12; -18/12
- descending order = -4/3; -17/12; -9/6
