Question

Which of the following indicates ascending order of the fractions?

• A. $\frac{4}{13},\frac{2}{7},\frac{3}{11},\frac{1}{5}$
• B. $\frac{1}{5},\frac{2}{7},\frac{3}{11},\frac{4}{13}$
• C. $\frac{1}{5},\frac{3}{11},\frac{2}{7},\frac{4}{13}$
• D. $\frac{2}{7},\frac{1}{5},\frac{3}{11},\frac{4}{13}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{1}{5},\frac{3}{11},\frac{2}{7},\frac{4}{13}$

$\frac{4}{13}=0.307,\frac{2}{7}=0.285,\frac{3}{11}=0.272,\frac{1}{5}=0.2$.

Hence the ascending order of the fractions is $\frac{1}{5}<\frac{3}{11}<\frac{2}{7}<\frac{4}{13}$.
