The correct Answer is:
To arrange the given fractions in ascending and descending order, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the LCM of the Denominators For both sets of fractions, we need to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators. **(i)** For the fractions `7/9, 13/15, 23/27, 20/21`: - Denominators: 9, 15, 27, 21 - Prime factorization: - 9 = 3² - 15 = 3 × 5 - 27 = 3³ - 21 = 3 × 7 - LCM = 3³ × 5 × 7 = 945 **(ii)** For the fractions `4/5, 11/20, 11/15, 22/25`: - Denominators: 5, 20, 15, 25 - Prime factorization: - 5 = 5 - 20 = 2² × 5 - 15 = 3 × 5 - 25 = 5² - LCM = 2² × 3 × 5² = 300 ### Step 2: Convert Each Fraction to Have the Same Denominator Now we will convert each fraction to have the common denominator found in Step 1. **(i)** Convert to 945: 1. `7/9 = (7 × 105)/(9 × 105) = 735/945` 2. `13/15 = (13 × 63)/(15 × 63) = 819/945` 3. `23/27 = (23 × 35)/(27 × 35) = 805/945` 4. `20/21 = (20 × 45)/(21 × 45) = 900/945` **(ii)** Convert to 300: 1. `4/5 = (4 × 60)/(5 × 60) = 240/300` 2. `11/20 = (11 × 15)/(20 × 15) = 165/300` 3. `11/15 = (11 × 20)/(15 × 20) = 220/300` 4. `22/25 = (22 × 12)/(25 × 12) = 264/300` ### Step 3: Arrange the Fractions in Ascending Order Now we will arrange the converted fractions in ascending order. **(i)** Ascending order: - `735/945` (7/9) - `805/945` (23/27) - `819/945` (13/15) - `900/945` (20/21) So, in ascending order: **7/9, 23/27, 13/15, 20/21** **(ii)** Ascending order: - `165/300` (11/20) - `220/300` (11/15) - `240/300` (4/5) - `264/300` (22/25) So, in ascending order: **11/20, 11/15, 4/5, 22/25** ### Step 4: Arrange the Fractions in Descending Order Now we will arrange the fractions in descending order. **(i)** Descending order: - `900/945` (20/21) - `819/945` (13/15) - `805/945` (23/27) - `735/945` (7/9) So, in descending order: **20/21, 13/15, 23/27, 7/9** **(ii)** Descending order: - `264/300` (22/25) - `240/300` (4/5) - `220/300` (11/15) - `165/300` (11/20) So, in descending order: **22/25, 4/5, 11/15, 11/20** ### Summary of Results - **(i)** Ascending: 7/9, 23/27, 13/15, 20/21 - **(i)** Descending: 20/21, 13/15, 23/27, 7/9 - **(ii)** Ascending: 11/20, 11/15, 4/5, 22/25 - **(ii)** Descending: 22/25, 4/5, 11/15, 11/20

To arrange the given fractions in ascending and descending order, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the LCM of the Denominators For both sets of fractions, we need to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators. **(i)** For the fractions `7/9, 13/15, 23/27, 20/21`: - Denominators: 9, 15, 27, 21 - Prime factorization: ...
