Question

Arrange the number 1/4, 13/16 and 5/8 in the ascending order.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The LCM of the denominators 4, 16 and 8 is 16 ∴ ¼ = [(1×4)/ (4×4)] = (4/16) (13/16) = [(13×1)/ (16×1)] = (13/16) (5/8) = [(5×2)/ (8×2)] = (10/16) Now, 13 < 10 < 4 ⇒ (13/16) > (10/16) > (4/16) Hence, (13/16) > (5/8) > (¼) Descending order 13/16, 5/8
