arrange the following rational numbers in ascending order
-3/4,-9/14,-13/28,-23/42
Answers
Answer:
(-3/4), (-9/14), (-23/42), (-13/28)
Step-by-step explanation:
in this question we firstly have to find the lcm of the denominatorrs.
so we take the lcm of the denominators as 84.
⇒(-3/4)*(21/21)= (-63/84)
⇒(-9/14)*(6/6)= (-54/84)
⇒(-13/28)*(3/3)= (-39/84)
⇒(-23/42)*(2/2)= (-46/84)
Now we have got the now rational numbers with same denominators.
(-63/84), (-54/84), (-39/84), (-46/84)
now as you also know that if the nnumber has a negative sign then the larger number is the smallest number .
so, firstly arrange it to ascending order-
(-63/84), (-54/84), (-46/84), (-39/84)is in the ascending form.
now convert it into the original form-
(-3/4), (-9/14), (-23/42), (-13/28)
hence, i prooved my answer as best i could!!!
i hope you would get help from this!!!
