Question:

Arrange the fractions in decreasing order:

(A) $\frac{4}{5}$
(B) $\frac{7}{8}$
(C) $\frac{3}{7}$
(D) $\frac{5}{9}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A), (B), (C), (D)

(A), (B), (D), (C)

(B), (A), (D), (C)

(C), (D), (A), (B)

Correct Answer:

(B), (A), (D), (C)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (B), (A), (D), (C)

We are asked to arrange fractions in decreasing order, but the fractions are given as:

$(A) \frac{4}{5},\ (B) \frac{7}{8},\ (C) \frac{3}{7},\ (D) \frac{5}{9}$

Step 1: Convert to decimal (or approximate)

  • $\frac{4}{5} = 0.8$
  • $\frac{7}{8} = 0.875$
  • $\frac{3}{7} \approx 0.4286$
  • $\frac{5}{9} \approx 0.5556$

Step 2: Arrange in decreasing order

$0.875 (B) > 0.8 (A) > 0.5556 (D) > 0.4286 (C)$

Correct order: (B), (A), (D), (C)
