Question

Arrange the numbers 1/4, 13/16, 5/8 in the descending order

Answer 1

Answer:

Descending order is 1 / 3 > 1 / 4 > 1 / 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Given set of rational numbers 1 / 4 , 1 3 / 1 6 , 5 / 8

To find : Arrange the numbers 1/4, 13/16, 5/8 in the descending order

Solution :

In order to check the order, we can convert them into equivalent decimals

1 / 4 = 0 . 2 5 , 1 3 / 1 6 = 0 . 8 1 , 5 / 8 = 0 . 6 2 5

By comparing we can say that  , 0 . 8 1 > 0 . 6 2 5 > 0 . 2 5

Descending order is 1 3 / 1 6 > 5 / 8 >   1 / 4

✦ Try This: Arrange the numbers 1 / 4 , 1 / 3 , 1 / 8 in the descending order

Given set of rational numbers1 / 4 , 1 / 3 , 1 / 8

In order to check the order , we can convert them into equivalent decimals

1 / 4 = 0 . 2 5 , 1 / 3 = 0 . 3 3 , 1 / 8 = 0 . 1 2 5

By comparing we can say that , 0 . 3 3 > 0 . 2 5 > 0 . 1 2 5

Descending order is 1 / 3 > 1 / 4 > 1 / 8
