Question

Arrange the following in descending order.

$\frac{5}{3}$, $\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{4}{3}$, $\frac{2}{3}$

• A. $\frac{4}{3}$ > $\frac{2}{3}$ > $\frac{5}{3}$ > $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $\frac{5}{3}$ > $\frac{2}{3}$ > $\frac{1}{3}$ > $\frac{4}{3}$
• C. $\frac{5}{3}$ > $\frac{4}{3}$ > $\frac{2}{3}$ > $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{1}{3}$ > $\frac{5}{3}$ > $\frac{4}{3}$ > $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{5}{3}$ > $\frac{4}{3}$ > $\frac{2}{3}$ > $\frac{1}{3}$

As we can see all fractions are like fractions, so we just need to arrange the numerator accordingly.
5 > 4 > 2 > 1

Hence,

$\frac{5}{3}>\frac{4}{3}>\frac{2}{3}>\frac{1}{3}$
