Q.10 Write the following rational numbers in ascending order:
(i) -3/5, -2/5, -1/5
(ii) -1/3, -2/9, -4/3
(iii) -3/7, -3/2, -3/4


Answer :

(i) -3/5, -2/5, -1/5
Here denominator are same then,
Hence, -3/5 < -2/5 < -1/5
(ii) -1/3, -2/9, -4/3
LCM of denominator = 9
(-1×3)/(3×3), (-2×1)/9×1), (-4×3)/(3×3)
=-2/9 > -3/9 > -12/9
= -2/9>-3/9>-4/3
(iii) -3/7, -3/2, -3/4
LCM of denominator = 28
(-3×4)/(7×4), (-3×14)/(2×14), (-3×7)/(4×7)
= -12/28, -42/28, -21/28
= -12/28 < -21/28 < -42/28
= -3/7< -3/4 < -3/2
