Answer:

-13/-4 , 3, -5/6, -11/12, -13/9, 17/-6

Explanation:

Given numbers are -5/6, 3, -13/-4,17/-6, -11/12, -13/9

The denominators = 6,4,6,12,9

LCM of the denominators = 36

-5/6 = (-5/6)×(6/6) = -30/36

3 =(3)×(36/36) = 108/36

-13/-4 = (13/4)×(9/9) = 117/36

17/-6 = (-17/6)×(6/6) = -102/36

-11/12 = (-11/12)×(3/3) = -33/36

-13/9 = (-13/9)×(4/4) = -42/36

Descending order of the numbers

= 117/36, 108/36, -30/36, -33/36, -42/36,-102/36

-13/-4 , 3, -5/6, -11/12, -13/9, 17/-6
