Question

Arrange the fractions in descending order.

$\frac{16}{27}$, $\frac{4}{27}$, $\frac{2}{27}$, $\frac{5}{27}$

Answer 1

Two or more fractions are said to be like fractions if they have same denominator.

For like fraction, the fraction with greater numerator is greater.

Here, the given fractions are $\frac{16}{27}$, $\frac{4}{27}$, $\frac{2}{27}$, $\frac{5}{27}$.

Since, denominators of all the fractions is $27$.

Therefore the fractions are like fractions. Hence the fraction with greater numerator is greater. Arranging the fractions in descending order, we have

$\frac{16}{27}$$>$$\frac{5}{27}$$>$$\frac{4}{27}$$>$$\frac{2}{27}$
