Question

Fraction on ascending order 5/12,12/24,21/60

Answer 1

Question: Arrange the following fractions into ascending order:

$\frac{5}{12} \: \frac{12}{24} \: \frac{21}{60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest form is:

$\frac{5}{12} \frac{1}{2} \frac{7}{20}$

The LCM of the fractions is 60.

Making the denominator same we get:

$\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{5}{5 } = \frac{25}{60}$

$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{30}{30} = \frac{30}{60}$

$\frac{7}{20} \times \frac{3}{3} = \frac{21}{60}$

Now, we get:

$\frac{21}{60 } < \frac{25}{60} < \frac{30}{60}$clearly,

$\frac{7}{20} < \frac{5}{12} < \frac{1}{2}$
