Question

Write the following rational numbers in ascending order. i)−7/8 , −1/12 ,−5/8, 11/16 , −2/4 ii)−2/9 ,−4/3 ,7/6, 10/9 ,−7/3

Answer 1

Answer:

i) -7/8, -1/12, -5/8, -2/4, 11/6

ii) -7/3, -4/3, -2/9, 10/9, 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

i) You have to convert each of the fractions to decimal by just punching those figures on your calculator.

-7/8 = -0.875

-1/12 = -0.833

-5/8 = -0.625

11/16 = 0.686

-2/4 = -0.500

There arranging it in ascending order is: -0.875, 0.833, 0.625, -0.500, 0.686

There the answer is: -7/8, -1/12, -5/8, -2/4, 11/6  

ii) You just have to do what you did in Number i) also, you will convert it to decimal

-2/9 = -0.22

-4/3 = -1.33

7/6 = 1.17

10/9 = 1.11

-7/3 = -2.33

There arranging it in ascending order is: -2.33, -4/3, -2/9, 10/9, 1.11

The correct answer is : -7/3, -4/3, -2/9, 10/9, 7/6

Please is correct, mark me as the brainest. THANKS
