Arrange the fractions in ascending order
23, 45, 65, 98
23, 45, 98, 65
To compare the given fractions, we have to make their denominators the same
So, the LCM of the denominators is 3×5×8=120 [It is not always product of the numbers]
Converting all the fractions into a common base, 120, we get the fractions as:
23×4040=80120
45×2424=96120
65×2424=144120
98×1515=135120
Now, since the denominators are same, we can compare the numbers by comparing their numerators.
Arranging these in ascedning order we get, 80120, 96120, 135120, 144120
Correspondingly arranging original fractions in ascending order, we get, 23, 45, 98, 65
