Question

Find the difference between the greatest and the<br />least numbers of _7/5,3/16,2/7,3/24​

Answer 1

The difference between the greatest and the least number is 153/120

Explanation:

The numbers given in the question are:

7/5, 3/16, 2/7, 3/24​

The value of the each fraction is:

7/5 = 1.4

3/6 = 0.5

2/7 = 0.285

3/24​ = 0.125

Now, on arranging the numbers in descending order, we get,

3/24 < 2/7 < 3/6 < 7/5

The least number = 3/24

The greatest number = 7/5

On subtracting, we get,

n = 7/5 - 3/24

n = (168 - 15)/120

∴ n = 153/120
