Which of the following groups of fractions is in descending order?
A. 8/15, 9/13, 6/11
B. 8/15, 6/11, 9/13
C. 9/13, 6/11, 8/15
D. 6/11, 8/15, 9/13
Explanation:
The fractions considered are 8/15 9/13 6/11
To compare them we make the denominators the same. So the fractions are
(8 * 13 * 11)/2145, (9 * 15 * 11)/2145 and (6 * 15 * 13)/2145
1144/2145, 1485/2145 and 1170/2145
so in descending order the fractions will be
1485/2145, 1170/2145 and 1144/2145 i.e., 9/13 , 6/11 , 8/15
