Which Of The Following Groups Of Fractions Is In Descending Order?

1.	Which Of The Following Groups Of Fractions Is In Descending Order?
Answer» The fractions CONSIDERED are 8/15 9/13 6/11 To compare them we make the denominators the same. So the fractions are (8 * 13 * 11)/2145, (9 * 15 * 11)/2145 and (6 * 15 * 13)/2145 1144/2145, 1485/2145 and 1170/2145 so in descending order the fractions will be 1485/2145, 1170/2145 and 1144/2145 i.e., 9/13 , 6/11 , 8/15. The fractions considered are 8/15 9/13 6/11 To compare them we make the denominators the same. So the fractions are (8 * 13 * 11)/2145, (9 * 15 * 11)/2145 and (6 * 15 * 13)/2145 1144/2145, 1485/2145 and 1170/2145 so in descending order the fractions will be 1485/2145, 1170/2145 and 1144/2145 i.e., 9/13 , 6/11 , 8/15.

Answer»

The fractions CONSIDERED are 8/15 9/13 6/11

To compare them we make the denominators the same. So the fractions are

(8 * 13 * 11)/2145, (9 * 15 * 11)/2145 and (6 * 15 * 13)/2145

1144/2145, 1485/2145 and 1170/2145

so in descending order the fractions will be

1485/2145, 1170/2145 and 1144/2145 i.e., 9/13 , 6/11 , 8/15.
