Question : 1 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

Arrange the fractions

3/4,5/ 12,13/ 16 , 16/29 ,3/ 8

ascending order of magnitude

Solution:

Fractions :

3/4,5/ 12,13/ 16 , 16/29 ,3/ 8

L.C.M. of denominators (4,12,16,29,8) = 1392
Thus, fractions are changed to :

1044 /1392 , 580/1392 , 1131 /1392 , 768/1392 , 522/1392

Now the denominators are equal and fraction are arrangedon the basis of numerators
=

522/1392< 580 /1392 <768/1392 < 1044/ 1392 <1131 /1392

≡ 3 /8 < 5/12 < 16/29 <3 / 4 < 13/16
