Question

write in order least to greatest with solution -7/24; 3/8; 5/12; 5/3;15/8​

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/24 < 3/8 < 5/12 < 5/3 < 15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are -7/24, 3/8, 5/12, 5/3, 15/8

The LCM(lowest common factor) of all the denominators(24, 8, 12, 3) is= 24

-7/24 = -7/24

3/8 = 3*3/8*3= 9/24

5/12 = 5*2/12*2= 10/24

5/3 = 5*8/3*8= 40/24

15/8 = 15*3/8*3= 45/24

= -7/24 , 9/24, 10/24, 40/24, 45/24

Hence the answer is -7/24 < 3/8 < 5/12 < 5/3 < 15/8
