-3/10 , -19/22 , -23/33 , -39/44

with steps please...​

Answer 1

Answer :

-3/10 > -23/33 > -19/22 > -39/44

Step-by-step explanation:

one way of doing this is by making the denominators same by taking the LCM of all the denominators and arranging the fraction based on the numerator.

the LCM of 10, 22, 33 & 44 is 660

-3/10 × 66/66 = -198/660

-19/22 × 30/30 = -570/660

-23/33 × 20/20 = -460/660

-39/44 × 15/15 = -585/660

as they all are negative and as we have to write them in a descending order, we take the small number, considering if they weren't negative, first.

so it becomes -198/660 > -460/660 > -570/660 > -585/660

which is -3/10 > -23/33 > -19/22 > -39/44
