Question

read the following rational number in the descending order 3/-4,-5/12,-7/16,9/-24​

Answer 1

Answer:

9/-24, -5/12, -7/16, 3/-4

Step-by-step explanation:

when you don't have same denominator or numerator , you can compare the fractions by doing the real calculation i.e divide them.

so,

3/-4=  - 0.75

-5/12= - 0.41

-7/16= - 0.43

9/-24= -0.37

now you just have to find the largest number= -0.37

(as it is a negative number smallest positive will be largest negative)

and now order it in decreasing order i.e from largest number to smallest

i.e -0.37, -0.41, -0.43, -0.75

hence the final answer is

-9/24, -5/12, -7/16, -3/4

all the best for your learning process :-)
