Question

Arrange the fractions into ascending order $\frac{4}{6},\frac{3}{8},\frac{6}{12},\frac{5}{16}$

Answer 1

Take the LCM of the denominators 6,8,12 and 16 is 48

$\frac{4}{6}=\frac{4\times 8}{6\times 8}=\frac{32}{48}\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\times 6}{8\times 6}=\frac{18}{48}\frac{6}{12}=\frac{6\times 4}{12\times 4}=\frac{24}{48}\frac{5}{16}=\frac{5\times 3}{16\times 3}\frac{15}{48}$

Thus ,$\frac{15}{16}<\frac{3}{8}<\frac{6}{12}<\frac{4}{6}$
