how is solve arrange the fraction in decending order 1/5, 2/8, 5/12
5/12,2/8,1/5
To conceptualize the order, convert to decimals.
Am i wrong or right ?
To arrange the fractions in descending order (from largest to smallest), you need to compare their values.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Convert the fractions to a common denominator, which is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. In this case, the LCM of 5, 8, and 12 is 120.
1/5 = 24/120
2/8 = 30/120
5/12 = 50/120
2. Now, compare the numerators of the fractions because they all have the same denominator:
50/120 > 30/120 > 24/120
3. Finally, write the fractions in descending order based on the comparison:
5/12 > 2/8 > 1/5
Therefore, the fractions in descending order are 5/12, 2/8, and 1/5.
