Question

Arrange the numbers in the descending order: 3/4, 1/12, 9/16, 7,24.

Answer 1

24,7,3/4,9/16,1/12

Explanation:

24 is obviously the largest number because it is more than 1 and greater than 7

7 is the only number other than 24 greater than 1

3/4 is greater than 9/16 because if you wanted the numerator 9 for 3/4 it would be 9/12 and 9/16 is less than 9/12

then 9/16 because that is greater than 1/12

Answer 2

`(3)/(4),(9)/(16) ,(7)/(24),(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

One common way you can determine if a fraction is greater than another fraction is by judging if the numerator and denominator are smaller than the second fraction. Usually, the fraction with the smaller numerator and denominator is greater than a fraction with a bigger numerator and denominator.


`(3)/(4) > (1)/(12)`

`(7)/(24) > (1)/(12)`

`(7)/(24) < (9)/(16)`

`(3)/(4),(9)/(16) ,(7)/(24),(1)/(12)`

I hope this helps.
