Question

arrange the following numbers in decending order:
-5/6,-7/12,-13/28,23/-24

Answer 1

firstly find the LCM of the denominator

e.i., =168


Now multiply both the numerator and denominator to make their denomenator
168


$\frac{ - 5}{6} \: \: \frac{ - 7 }{12} \: \: \frac{ - 13}{28} \: \: \frac{ - 23}{24} \\ \\ \\ (\frac{ - 5 \times 28}{6 \times 28}) \: \: ( \frac{ - 7 \times 14}{12 \times 14} ) \: \: ( \frac{- 13 \times 6}{28 \times 6} ) \: \: ( \frac{- 23 \times 7}{24 \times 7} ) \\ \\ \\ (\frac{ - 140}{168} )( \frac{ - 98}{168} )( \frac{ - 78}{168} )( \frac{ - 161}{168} ) \\ \\ now \: we \: can \: easily \: arrange \: it \\ \\ (\frac{ - 13}{28} )( \frac{ - 98}{168} )( \frac{ - 140}{168} )( \frac{- 161}{168} ) \\ \\ or (\frac{ - 13}{28} )( \frac{ - 7}{12} )( \frac{ - 5}{6} )( \frac{ - 23}{24} )$


i hope it will be helpful to you
