1/2. 3/5. 1/3. 2/5

Answer 1

Hello ! Here’s something simple but helpful !

1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5

Answer 2

First we need to make the denominator same and for that we need to find the lcd of 2,5,3,5 which is 30 .

Now we need to make each denominator equal to 30, that is

`(1)/(2)=(1*15)/(2*15) =(15)/(30)\\ (3)/(5)=(3*6)/(5*6) =(18)/(30)\\(1)/(3)=(1*10)/(3*10) =(10)/(30)\\(2)/(5)=(2*6)/(5*6) =(12)/(30)`

So we have

15/30,18/30,10/30,12/30

which can be arranged as

10/30 , 12/30, 15/30,18/30

That is 1/3,2/5,1/2, 3/5

And that's the required order .
