Question

Arrange the following rational number in describing order
5/6 , -1/3 ,-3/4
​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/6>-1/3>-3/4

it is in descending order

Answer 2

To arrange : following numbers in the descending order .  

Given data : $\frac{5}{6} . \frac{-1}{3} ,\frac{-3}{4}$

Solution :

• To arrange numbers in descending order is to write number from bigger to small .

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

• Therefore , LCM = $12$

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

• Therefore, we get ,
• $\frac{5}{6} . \frac{-1}{3} ,\frac{-3}{4}$  $= \frac{5\times 2}{12} , \frac{-1\times 4}{12} , \frac{-3\times 3}{12}$

                       $= \frac{10}{12} , \frac{-4}{12} , \frac{-9}{12}$

   Descending order :  $\frac{10}{12} >\frac{-1}{12} > \frac{-9}{12}$  or  $\frac{5}{6} > \frac{-1}{3} > \frac{-3}{4}$ .
