Question

Assemble the following in descending order.

• A. $\frac{3}{5}$
• B. $\frac{6}{5}$
• C. $\frac{2}{5}$
• D. $\frac{1}{5}$
• E. $\frac{7}{5}$

Answer 1

Denominators of all the fractions are same (like fractions), and it is 5. Hence, the order of magnitude of the fractions depends only on their respective numerators.

As $7>6>3>2>1$,
$\frac{7}{5}>\frac{6}{5}>\frac{3}{5}>\frac{2}{5}>\frac{1}{5}$ (fractions in descending order).
