Answer:

To arrange the rational numbers in descending order, we can compare them and order them from largest to smallest. Let's start:

-7/-12 = 7/12

9/-10 = -9/10

Now, we have the following rational numbers:

2/5, -1/4, 7/12, -9/10

To compare these fractions, we can find a common denominator and then compare the numerators.

The common denominator for 5, 4, 12, and 10 is 60.

Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 60:

2/5 = 24/60

-1/4 = -15/60

7/12 = 35/60

-9/10 = -54/60

Now, let's arrange them in descending order:

-15/60, -54/60, 24/60, 35/60

Simplifying the fractions:

-1/4, -9/10, 2/5, 7/12

Therefore, the rational numbers in descending order are:

-9/10, -1/4, 2/5, 7/12.
