Question

fraction by using ascending order

Answer 1

lets take an example :

 the following fractions 5/6, 8/9, 2/3 in ascending order.

First we find the L.C.M. of the denominators of the fractions to make the denominators same.


L.C.M. = 3 × 2 × 3 × 1 = 18

Now to make the fraction as like fractions divide the L.C.M. by the denominator of fractions, then multiply both the numerator and denominator of fraction with the number get after dividing L.C.M.

As in fraction 5/6 denominator is 6.

Divide 18 ÷ 6 = 3

Now, multiply both numerator and denominator by 3 = 5 × 3/6 × 3 = 15/18

Similarly, 8/9 = 8 × 2/9 × 2 = 16/18 (because 18 ÷ 9 = 2)

and 2/3 = 2 × 6/3 × 6 = 12/18 (because 18 ÷ 3 = 6)

Now, we compare the like fractions 15/18, 16/18 and 12/18

Comparing numerators, we find that 16 > 15 > 12

Therefore, 16/18 > 15/18 > 12/ 18

or 8/9 > 5/6 > 2/3

or 2/3 < 5/6 < 8/9

The ascending order of the fractions is 2/3, 5/6, 8/9.

Answer 2

For example
3/4,4/5,2/3
=45,48,40/60
=3/4=45/60,4/5=48/60,2/3=40/60
=2/3,3/4,4/5
