. Arrange the following fraction in ascending order
(4/5),(7/10),(11/15),(17/20)
Best Answer
Explanation:
First find the LCM of all the denominators
LCM of 5,10,15,20=60
Now, let us change each of the given fraction into an equivalent fraction having 60 as the denominator.
[(4/5)×(12/12)]=(48/60)
[(7/10)×(6/6)]=(42/60)
[(11/15)×(4/4)]=(44/60)
[(17/20)×(3/3)]=(52/60)
Clearly,
(42/60)< (44/60)< (48/60)< (52/60)
Hence,
(7/10)<(11/15)<(4/5)<(17/20)
Final Answer:
Hence, the given fractions in ascending order are: (7/10)<(11/15)<(4/5)<(17/20)
