Question

Arrange these numeric expressions in descending order ( from the biggest value to the smallest.)

Tiles
32 3/5
81 1/4
64 2/3
49 1/2

Answer 1

The values from biggest to smallest are:
81 1/4

64 2/3

49 1/2

32 3/5

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

`\bf 81\tfrac{1}{4}>64\tfrac{2}{3}>49\tfrac{1}{2}>32\tfrac{3}{5}`

Explanation:

The numeric expressions which are needed to be arranged in the descending order are given as :

`32\tfrac{3}{5},\:81\tfrac{1}{4},\:64\tfrac{2}{3},\: 49\tfrac{1}{2}`

Converting these numbers into fraction form, we get :

`(163)/(5),\: (325)/(4),\:(194)/(3),\:(99)/(2)`

Now, to arrange them into descending order first we will make their denominators equal. So, L.C.M. of 2, 3, 4, 5 = 60

So, The fraction form will be :

`(1956)/(60),\: (4875)/(60),\:(3880)/(60),\:(2970)/(60)`

So, The numbers having greater denominator will come first.

Therefore, The required descending form will be :

`81\tfrac{1}{4}>64\tfrac{2}{3}>49\tfrac{1}{2}>32\tfrac{3}{5}`
