If the numbers \(\frac{1}{3}\), 0.3, \(\frac{{33}}{{121}}\) and 0.33 are written in ascending order, then what will be the last number?1. 0.332. \(\frac{{33}}{{121}}\)3. 0.34. \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Calculation

Numbers are,

a) 1/3

b) 0.3 = 3/10

c) 33/121

d) 0.33 = 33/100

To compare them make the denominator equal, by taking LCM of denominators

⇒ LCM (3,10,121, 100) = 36300

Multiply numerator and denominator by 36300, then the numbers will become

a) (1 × 36300)/(3 × 36300)

⇒ 12100/36300

b) (3 × 36300)/(10 × 36300)

⇒ 10890/36300

c) (33 × 36300)/(121 × 36300)

⇒ 9900/36300

d) (33 × 36300)/(100 × 36300)

⇒ 11979/36300

so, the largest number is 12100/36300

∴ The largest number is 1/3
