Question

Put the given fractions in ascending order by making denominators equal:
$1/3,2/5,3/4$ and $1/6$

Answer 1

$1/3,2/5,3/4$ and $1/6$
Here the LCM of $3,5,4$ and $6$ is $60$
$1/3=(1\times 20)/(3\times 20)=20/60$
$2/5=(2\times 12)/(5\times 12)=24/60$
$3/4=(3\times 15)/(4\times 15)=45/60$
$1/6=(1\times 10)/(6\times 10)=10/60$
So we get
$10/60<20/60<24/60<45/60$
It can be written as
$1/6<1/3<2/5<3/4$
Therefore, $1/6,1/3,2/5$ and $3/4$ are in ascending order.
