Question

write in descending order -28/56, -2/3, 3/8.​

Answer 1

➤ Answer :-

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{( - 28)}{56} \: ; \: \dfrac{( - 2)}{3} \: ; \: \dfrac{3}{8}}$

Convert them into like fractions by taking the LCM of the denominators i.e, 56, 3 and 8.............

LCM of 56, 3 and 8 is 168.

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{( - 28) \times 3}{56 \times 3} \: ; \: \dfrac{( - 2) \times 56}{3 \times 56} \: ; \: \dfrac{3 \times 21}{8 \times 21}}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{( - 84)}{168} \: ; \: \dfrac{( - 112)}{168} \: ; \: \dfrac{63}{168}}$

Descending order :-

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{63}{168} \: \boxed{ > } \: \dfrac{( - 84)}{168} \: \boxed{ > } \: \dfrac{( - 112)}{168}}$

When converted into lowest form :-

${\tt \longrightarrow \boxed{\tt \dfrac{3}{8} \: \boxed{ > } \: \dfrac{( - 28)}{56} \: \boxed{ > } \: \dfrac{( - 2)}{3}}}$

More to know..................

• While adding, subtracting, comparing or arranging the fractions in ascending and descending order, if the given fractions are having different denominator i.e, if they are unlike fractions, we should convert them into like fractions by taking the LCM of the denominators.
• While adding, subtracting, comparing or arranging the fractions in ascending and descending order, if the given fractions are having same denominator i.e, if they are like fractions, we can solve them easily.
