Question

Write 2/7, 5/7, 6/14, 12/21 in descending order

Answer 1

Answer:

5/7, 12/21, 6/14, 2/7

First take the LCM of the denominators which is 42.

then make the denominators equal to 42 by multiplying it.

After the denominators are same ,

arrange them in descending orders.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Given: The numbers are$2/7, 5/7, 6/14, 12/21$.

We have to arrange the above number in descending order.

As we know that Descending Order means arranging numbers in descending order means to arrange them from largest to smallest.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

$2/7, 5/7, 6/14, 12/21$

For this, we will take the LCM of the above numbers:

The LCM of the above numbers is 42.

Now making all the denominators the same as LCM:

$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{7} \times\frac{6}{6} ,\frac{5}{7} \times\frac{6}{6} ,\frac{6}{14} \times \frac{3}{3} ,\frac{12}{21} \times \frac{2}{2} \\\\\Rightarrow \frac{12}{42} , \frac{30}{42}, \frac{18}{42} ,\frac{24}{42}$

Hence, the above numbers in descending order will be:

$30/42 > 24/42 > 18/42 > 12/42$

Hence, the descending order of numbers is $5/7 > 12/21 > 6/14 > 2/7$
