Answer 1

Answer:

The fractions in ascending order $\frac{4}{40}$ < $\frac{3}{5}$ < $\frac{5}{8}$ < $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A $\frac{3}{4}$ $=\frac{3*10}{4*10}=\frac{30}{40}$

B $\frac{1}{10}$ $=\frac{1*4}{10*4}=\frac{4}{40}$

C $\frac{3}{5}$ $=\frac{3*8}{5*8}=\frac{24}{40}$

D $\frac{5}{8}$ $=\frac{5*5}{8*5}=\frac{25}{40}$

Since, 4<24<25<30, the fractions in ascending order $\frac{4}{40}$ < $\frac{3}{5}$ < $\frac{5}{8}$ < $\frac{3}{4}$
