Question

Compare and arrange the fractions in descending order.

$\frac{5}{12}$ , $\frac{5}{20}$ , $\frac{5}{16}$ , $\frac{5}{8}$

• A. $\frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$ < $\frac{5}{16}$ < $\frac{5}{20}$
• B. $\frac{5}{8}$ > $\frac{5}{12}$ > $\frac{5}{16}$ > $\frac{5}{20}$
• C. $\frac{5}{8}$ < $\frac{5}{12}$ < $\frac{5}{16}$ < $\frac{5}{20}$
• D. $\frac{5}{20}$ < $\frac{5}{12}$ < $\frac{5}{16}$ < $\frac{5}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{5}{8}$ > $\frac{5}{12}$ > $\frac{5}{16}$ > $\frac{5}{20}$

Since 8 < 12 < 16 < 20.
The correct descending order of fractions is:

$\frac{5}{8}$ > $\frac{5}{12}$ > $\frac{5}{16}$ > $\frac{5}{20}$
