Question

Write in Ascending Order
-3/7, -3/2, -3/4, -7/2
​

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/2, -3/2, -3/4, -3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

First to make it in ascending order, make the denominator of all the numbers equal.

the denominators are 7,2,4,2

the common factor of 7, 2 and 4 is 28.

So multiply the denominators by a number that gives 28.

Also multiply the numerator with the same number to make that fraction equal to the before fraction.

So, in the fraction -3/7 multiply 4 to the numerator and the denominator as to get 28 in the denominator.

In the fraction -3/2 multiply 14 to the numerator and the denominator to get 28 as the denominator.

In the fraction -3/4 multiply 7 to the numerator and the denominator to get 28 as the denominator.

In the fraction -7/2 multiply 14 to the numerator and the denominator to get 28 as the denominator.

So by multiplying all you get as the following;

-12/28, -42/28, -21/28, -98/28

Here;

-12/28 = -3/7

-42/28= -3/2

-21/28 = -3/4

-98/28= -7/2

So, remember that the bigger the number with the negative sign is actually smaller.

So here the biggest fraction with negative sign is small.

Ascending order means from the lowest value to the biggest value.

So here it is in the following order:

= -98/28, -42/28, -21/28, -12/28

= -7/2, -3/2, -3/4, -3/7
