Question

write the following rational number in ascending order - -7 / 10 ; 5/-8; 2/-3 ; -1/4 ; -3/5
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ascending order:-  -7/10         -2/3         -5/8        -3/5       -1/4

Explaination:

Rational Numbers have not their denominators of same value

In order to make the denominator same,

Take LCM of the denominators     i.e; LCM of 10,8,3,4 and 5=240

So,  -7/10=  -168/240

       -5/8=   -150/240

       -2/3=   -160/240

       -1/4=    -60/240

       -3/5=   -144/240

From the above,

We get that:-       (-168/240)<(-160/240)<(-150/240)<(-144/240)<(-60/240)

                              (-7/10)<(-2/3)<(-5/8)<(-3/5)<(-1/4)

                       So this is the required answer
