Problem

Arrange the following fractions in descending order:

\$3/4, 7/8, 7/(12), (17)/(14)\$.

2

Step

The given

\$3/4, 7/8, 7/(12), (17)/(14)\$

3

Step

Here \$3/4\$ is our proper fraction and the decimal value of \$3/4\$ is:

0.75

4

Step

Here \$7/8\$ is our proper fraction and the decimal value of \$7/8\$ is:

0.875

5

Step

Here \$7/(12)\$ is our proper fraction and the decimal value of \$7/(12)\$ is:

0.583

6

Step

Here \$17/14\$ is our proper fraction and the decimal value of \$(17)/(14)\$ is:

1.21

7

Step

Descending order is the arrangement of values from highest to lowest:

\$1.21 > 0.875 > 0.75 > 0.583\$

8

Solution

So, the fractions arranged in descending order is \$ (17)/(14), 7/8, 3/4, 7/(12)\$.

Choice-A

This is correct based on the descending order of the fractions

Correct \$(17)/(14), 7/8, 3/4, 7/(12)\$

11

Choice-B

This places \$7/12\$​ before \$3/4\$​, which is incorrect since \$3/4​ > 7/12\$​. Therefore, this is incorrect

Wrong \$(17)/(14), 7/8, 7/(12), 3/4 \$

12

Choice-C

Incorrect, as it has \$ 3/4\$ after \$ 7/8\$

Wrong \$(17)/(14), 3/4, 7/8, 7/(12)\$
