Arrange the following rational numbers in descending order:
(i) (ii)
(iii) (iv)
(i)
And,
Since, the denominators of all the numbers are different therefore we will take LCM of the denominators.
LCM of 1, 6and 3 = 6
Clearly,
2 > -12 > -13 > -16
Therefore,
Hence,
(ii)
And,
Since, the denominators of all the numbers are different therefore we will take LCM of the denominators.
LCM of 10, 15, 20 and 30 = 60
Clearly,
-18>-28>-33>-34
Therefore,
Hence,
(iii)
Since, the denominators of all the numbers are different therefore we will take LCM of the denominators.
LCM of 6, 12, 18 and 24 = 72
Clearly,
-42>-52>-60>-69
Therefore,
Hence,
(iv)
Since, the denominators of all the numbers are different therefore we will take LCM of the denominators.
LCM of 11, 22, 33 and 44 = 132
Clearly,
-92>-114>-117>-120
Therefore,
Hence,
