Write the following fractions in ascending order. Class 6

Question 1.

Write the following fractions in ascending order. Class 6

Solution:

(a) $\frac{7}{10}=\frac{21}{30}, \frac{11}{15}=\frac{22}{30}$ and $\frac{2}{5}=\frac{12}{30}$.

Also, $\frac{12}{30}<\frac{21}{30}<\frac{22}{30}$.

So, ascending order is $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{7}{10}, \frac{11}{15}$.

(b) $\frac{19}{24}=\frac{19}{24}, \frac{5}{6}=\frac{20}{24}, \frac{7}{12}=\frac{14}{24}$.

Thus, $\frac{14}{24}<\frac{19}{24}<\frac{20}{24}$.

Hence, ascending order is $\frac{7}{12}, \frac{19}{24}, \frac{5}{6}$.

Question 2.

Write the following fractions in descending order. Class 6

Solution:

(a) $\frac{25}{16}=\frac{50}{32}, \frac{7}{8}=\frac{28}{32}$,

$\frac{13}{4}=\frac{104}{32}, \frac{17}{32}=\frac{17}{32}$

So, $\frac{104}{32}>\frac{50}{32}>\frac{28}{32}>\frac{17}{32}$.

So, descending order is $\frac{13}{4}, \frac{25}{16}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{17}{32}$.

(b) $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{45}{60}, \frac{12}{5}=\frac{144}{60}, \frac{7}{12}=\frac{35}{60}, \frac{5}{4}=\frac{75}{60}$.

So, $\frac{144}{60}>\frac{75}{60}>\frac{45}{60}>\frac{35}{60}$.

So, descending order is $\frac{12}{5}, \frac{5}{4}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{7}{12}$.
