Answer:
here you go
The rational number
−5
4
is same as
5
−4
.
Now consider the given rational numbers −2,
20
−11
,
5
−4
and
4
3
and make their denominator same by taking the LCM of the denominators as follows:
LCM(5,20,4)=20
The given fractions now with denominator 20 can be written as:
1×20
−2×20
=
20
−40
5×4
−4×4
=
20
−16
20×1
−11×1
=
20
−11
4×5
3×5
=
20
15
The descending order of the rational numbers is:
20
15
>
20
−11
>
20
−16
>
20
−40
⇒
4
3
>
20
−11
>
−5
4
>−2
Hence, the descending order is
4
3
>
20
−11
>
−5
4
>−2.
