Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4} \: \frac{ - 9}{8} \: \frac{ - 3}{2} \: 0 \: \: \frac{2}{5}$

LCM of 4,8,2,5= 40

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times10 }{ 4\times10 } = \frac{30}{40}$

$\frac{ - 9}{8} = \frac{ - 9 \times 5}{8 \times 5} = \frac{ - 45}{40}$

$\frac{ - 3}{2} = \frac{ - 3 \times 20}{2 \times 20} = \frac{ - 60}{40}$

$\frac{2}{5} = \frac{2 \times 8}{5 \times 8} = \frac{16}{40}$

$\frac{30}{40} > \frac{16}{40} > 0 > \frac{ - 45}{40} > \frac{ - 60}{40}$
