Arrange the following rational numbers in ascending order (i) -2/5,7/10,-8/15,17-30
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step1: We are given the rational numbers:
35,−17−30,8−15,−710
We first write the given rational numbers so that their denominators are positive for that we will multiply numerator and denominator by (−1)
⇒−17×(−1)−30×(−1)=1730
⇒8×(−1)−15×(−1)=−815
Thus the given rational numbers with positive denominator are:
⇒35,1730,−815,−710
Step2: Now L.C.M of the denominator 5,30,15
and10is 5×6×3×2=180 .
We now write the numerator so that they have a common denominator 180as follows
In case of 35we multiply numerator and denominator by 36
⇒3×365×36=108180;
In case of 1730 we multiply numerator and denominator by6
⇒17×630×6=102180;
In case of −815 we multiply numerator and
Step3: Comparing the numerators of these numbers and also considering the signs as a start from a negative number we get (in case of negative numbers greater the number with negative sign smaller will be its value)
−126<−96<102<108
Therefore, the ascending order of whole fraction will be
−126180<−96180<102180<108180
Step5: hence the order of rational numbers is −710<−815<1730<35
