Question

arrange the fractions in ascending order:
7/16,5/12,17/32,23/36​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{12} < \frac{7}{16} < \frac{17}{32} < \frac{23}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

7/16,5/12,17/32,23/36

take L.C.M of 16, 12, 32, 36 =288

so, 7/16 = 126/288 ( multiplying numerator and denominator by 18 because 288/16=18)

so ,5/12 = 120/288 ( multiplying numerator and denominator by 24 because 288/12=24)

so, 17/32= 153/288 (multiplying numerator and denominator by 9 because 288/32 =9)

so, 23/36 = 184/288(multiplying numerator and denominator by 8 because 288/36 = 8)

Ascending order : 5/12 < 7/16 < 17/32 < 23/36
