Solution

  • Step 1: The least common denominator (LCD) of 4, 6 and 8 is 24. Make the denominator as 24 for all the fractions.

38=3×38×3=924;

14=1×64×6=624;

76=7×46×4=2824

  • Step 2: Now each fraction has the same denominator 24. Arrange the fractions in descending order by arranging numerators in descending order.

2824, 924, 624

  • Hence, the fractions in descending order are 76, 38, 14.
