Solution

  • Step 1: The least common denominator (LCD) of 3, 4 and 12 is 12. Make the denominator as 12 for all the fractions.

14=1×34×3=312;

23=2×43×4=812;

512=5×112×1=512

  • Step 2: Now each fraction has the same denominator 12. Arrange the fractions in descending order by arranging numerators in descending order.

812, 512, 312

  • Hence, the fractions in descending order are 23, 512, 14.
