Topics → Definition Example1

Arrange the following fractions in descending order:

\$3/5 , (13)/(19), (10)/(17), 2/9\$

Step: 1

We can compare the decimal values of the fractions:

\$3/5 = 0.6\$

\$(13)/(19) = 0.684 \$

\$ (10)/(17) = 0.588 \$

\$ 2/9 = 0.222 \$

The descending order of the decimal values is 0.684,0.6,0.588,0.222.

Explanation:

Here, we discuss the fractions in decimal values arranged in descending order: 0.684,0.6,0.588,0.222.

Step: 2

Therefore, the fractions in descending order are \$(13)/(19), 3/5, (10)/(17), 2/9\$.

Explanation:

Here, we write in descending order of the fractional numbers.
