The correct Answer is:
To write the fractions \(-\frac{3}{7}\), \(-\frac{3}{2}\), and \(-\frac{3}{4}\) in ascending order, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the fractions The fractions we need to compare are: 1. \(-\frac{3}{7}\) 2. \(-\frac{3}{2}\) 3. \(-\frac{3}{4}\) ### Step 2: Find a common denominator To compare these fractions easily, we need to find a common denominator. The denominators are 7, 2, and 4. The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers is 28. ### Step 3: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator Now, we convert each fraction to have a denominator of 28: 1. For \(-\frac{3}{7}\): \[ -\frac{3}{7} = -\frac{3 \times 4}{7 \times 4} = -\frac{12}{28} \] 2. For \(-\frac{3}{2}\): \[ -\frac{3}{2} = -\frac{3 \times 14}{2 \times 14} = -\frac{42}{28} \] 3. For \(-\frac{3}{4}\): \[ -\frac{3}{4} = -\frac{3 \times 7}{4 \times 7} = -\frac{21}{28} \] ### Step 4: Compare the fractions Now we have: 1. \(-\frac{12}{28}\) 2. \(-\frac{42}{28}\) 3. \(-\frac{21}{28}\) Since all the fractions have the same denominator, we can compare the numerators. In the case of negative fractions, a smaller numerator means a larger (less negative) value. - \(-42\) is the smallest (most negative) - \(-21\) is the next - \(-12\) is the largest (least negative) ### Step 5: Write in ascending order Thus, in ascending order, we have: \[ -\frac{42}{28} < -\frac{21}{28} < -\frac{12}{28} \] Converting back to the original fractions, we get: \[ -\frac{3}{2} < -\frac{3}{4} < -\frac{3}{7} \] ### Final Answer The ascending order of the fractions is: \[ -\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{3}{4}, -\frac{3}{7} \] ---
