Question 7: Write the following fractions in descending order by converting them into decimals:

(i) $\frac{8}{25}$ $,$ $\frac{4}{15}$ $,$ $\frac{9}{20}$ $,$ $\frac{3}{8}$ $,$ $\frac{11}{16}$

(ii) $\frac{11}{15}$ $,$ $\frac{12}{17}$ $,$ $\frac{29}{14}$ $,$ $\frac{17}{24}$ $,$ $\frac{14}{19}$

(i) $\frac{8}{25}$ $,$ $\frac{4}{15}$ $,$ $\frac{9}{20}$ $,$ $\frac{3}{8}$ $,$ $\frac{11}{16}$

$\Rightarrow 0.3200, 0.2667, 0.4500, 0.3750, 0.6875$

Now arranging in descending order: $\frac{11}{16}$ $,$ $\frac{9}{20}$ $,$ $\frac{3}{8}$ $,$ $\frac{8}{25}$ $,$ $\frac{4}{15}$

(ii) $\frac{11}{15}$ $,$ $\frac{12}{17}$ $,$ $\frac{29}{14}$ $,$ $\frac{17}{24}$ $,$ $\frac{14}{19}$

$\Rightarrow 0.7333, 0.7059, 2.0714, 0.7083, 0.7368$

Now arranging in descending order: $\frac{29}{14}$ $,$ $\frac{14}{19}$ $,$ $\frac{11}{15}$ $,$ $\frac{17}{24}, \frac{12}{19}$

First find HCF and LCM of $63, 105$, and $210$

HCF $= 21$

LCM $= 630$

Therefore HCF and LCM of $0.63, 1.0$5, and $2.1$ is $0.21$ and $6.30$ respectively.

Convert the numbers into like decimals. i.e. $1.08, 0.36, 0.90$

First find HCF and LCM of $108, 36$, and $90$

HCF $= 18$

LCM $= 540$

Therefore the HCF and LCM of $1.08, 0.36$ and $0.9$ is $0.18$ and $5.40$ respectively.

(iii) $0.3, 0.03, 3$

Convert the numbers into like decimals $0.30, 0.03, 3.00$

Find HCF and LCM of $30, 3$ and $300$

HCF $= 3$

LCM $= 300$

Therefore the HCF and LCM of $0.3, 0.03$ and $3$ is $0.03$ and $3.00$ respectively.

(iv) $1.75, 5.6, 7$

Convert the numbers into like decimals i.e. $1.75, 5.60, 7.00$
