The correct Answer is:
To arrange the fractions \( \frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{11}{12}, \frac{3}{10} \) in ascending order, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the LCM of the Denominators The denominators of the fractions are 6, 8, 12, and 10. We need to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of these numbers. - The prime factorization of the denominators is: - \( 6 = 2 \times 3 \) - \( 8 = 2^3 \) - \( 12 = 2^2 \times 3 \) - \( 10 = 2 \times 5 \) To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime number: - For 2: \( 2^3 \) (from 8) - For 3: \( 3^1 \) (from 6 or 12) - For 5: \( 5^1 \) (from 10) Thus, the LCM is: \[ LCM = 2^3 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 = 8 \times 3 \times 5 = 120 \] ### Step 2: Convert Each Fraction to Have the Same Denominator Now we will convert each fraction to have a denominator of 120. 1. For \( \frac{5}{6} \): \[ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 20}{6 \times 20} = \frac{100}{120} \] 2. For \( \frac{7}{8} \): \[ \frac{7}{8} = \frac{7 \times 15}{8 \times 15} = \frac{105}{120} \] 3. For \( \frac{11}{12} \): \[ \frac{11}{12} = \frac{11 \times 10}{12 \times 10} = \frac{110}{120} \] 4. For \( \frac{3}{10} \): \[ \frac{3}{10} = \frac{3 \times 12}{10 \times 12} = \frac{36}{120} \] ### Step 3: Compare the Numerators Now that all fractions have the same denominator, we can compare their numerators: - \( 36 \) (from \( \frac{3}{10} \)) - \( 100 \) (from \( \frac{5}{6} \)) - \( 105 \) (from \( \frac{7}{8} \)) - \( 110 \) (from \( \frac{11}{12} \)) ### Step 4: Arrange in Ascending Order The order of the numerators from smallest to largest is: - \( 36 < 100 < 105 < 110 \) Thus, the fractions in ascending order are: \[ \frac{3}{10}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{11}{12} \] ### Final Result The fractions arranged in ascending order are: \[ \frac{3}{10}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{11}{12} \] ---
