Question

Arrange the rational numbers in ascending
order.
-7/10,5/-8,2/-3,-1/4,-3/5

Answer 1

Answer:

For rearranging the number in ascending order first we have to make denominator same of all given rational numbers.

Hence, LCM of 10,−8,−3,4 and 5 is 120.

Now,

∴  

10×12

−7×12

​  

,  

−8×15

5×15

​  

,  

−3×40

2×40

​  

,  

4×30

−1×30

​  

,  

5×24

−3×24

​  

 

=  

120

−84

​  

,  

120

−75

​  

,  

−120

80

​  

,  

120

−30

​  

,  

120

−72

​  

 

120

−84

​  

,  

120

−75

​  

,  

120

−80

​  

,  

120

−30

​  

,  

120

−72

​  

 

Now, we arranged the number according to the value of the numerator,  

So,  

120

−84

​  

<  

120

−80

​  

<  

120

−75

​  

<  

120

−72

​  

<  

120

−30

​  

 

That is  

10

−7

​  

<  

−3

2

​  

<  

−8

5

​  

<  

5

−3

​  

<  

4
