Question

Which of the following are in descending order of their value?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Converting each fraction into decimal form, we get:
$\frac{5}{9}=0.55,\frac{7}{11}=0.63,\frac{8}{15}=0.533,\frac{11}{7}=0.647$
Clearly, 0.647 > 0.63 > 0.5333 > 0.647
So, $\frac{11}{7}$ > $\frac{7}{11}$ > $\frac{5}{9}$ > $\frac{8}{15}$
