Answer» (2/3), (3/4), (5/-6), (-7/12) First we write each of the given numbers with a positive denominator. (5/-6) = [(5× (-1))/ (-6×-1)] = (-5/6) LCM of 3, 4, 6 and 12 is 12 Now, (2/3)= [(2×4)/ (3×4)] = (8/12) (3/4)= [(3×3)/ (4×3)] = (9/12) (-5/6)= [(-5×2)/ (6×2)] = (-10/12) (-7/12)= [(-7×1)/ (12×1)] = (-7/12) Clearly, (-10/12)< (-7/12) < (8/12) < (9/12) Hence, (-5/6)< (-7/15) < (2/3) < (3/4) |
