Answer:

-13/8 , -11/24, -7/16, -5/12 , -3/8

Explanation:

Given numbers are -3/8 , 5/-12, -7/16, -13/18 , 11/-24

The can be written as -3/8, -5/12, -7/16, -13/18, -11/24

The denominators = 8,12,16,18,24

LCM of the denominators = 144

-3/8 = (-3/8)×(18/18) = -54/144

-5/12 = (-5/12)×(12/12) =-60/144

-7/16 = (-7/16)×(9/9) = -63/144

-13/18 = (-13/18)×(8/8) = -104/144

-11/24 = (-11/24)×(6/6) = -66/144

Ascending order of the numbers

= -104/144 , -66/144, -63/144, -60/144, -54/144

-13/8 , -11/24, -7/16, -5/12 , -3/8
