7/8 , 9/10, 16/20

what's the ascending order? ​

we now that

8=2^3

10=2*5

20=(2^2)*5

Lcm=40

so

Multiply the fraction 7/8 by 5/5

7/8*(5/5)=35/40

Multiply the fraction 9/10 by 4/4

9/10*(4/4)=36/40

Multiply the fraction 16/20 by 2/2

16/20*(2/2)=32/40

Compare the fractions

32/40 < 35/40 < 36/40

therefore

the ascending order is

16/20 , 7/8 , 9/10
