Amarge the following in descending order.

(i) $\frac{2}{9}, \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{8}{21} $

(ii) $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{3}{7}+\frac{7}{10} $

In a magic square"


Given:

$(i)\ \frac{2}{9}, \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{8}{21}$

$(ii)\ \frac{1}{5}, \frac{3}{7},\ \frac{7}{10}$

Solution::

$(i)\ \frac{2}{9}, \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{8}{21}$

LCM of 3, 9, 21 is 63

Given fractions can be rewritten as

$\frac{14}{63}$, $\frac{42}{63}$, $\frac{24}{63}$

So descending order would be $\frac{42}{63}$, $\frac{24}{63}$, $\frac{14}{63}$

or $\frac{2}{3}$, $\frac{8}{21}$, $\frac{2}{9}$ or

$\frac{2}{3}> \frac{8}{21}> \frac{2}{9}$


$(ii)\ \frac{1}{5}, \frac{3}{7},\ \frac{7}{10} $ 

LCM of 5, 7, 10 is 70

Given fractions can be rewritten as $\frac{14}{70}$, $\frac{30}{70}$, \frac{49}{70}$

Descending order is $\frac{49}{70} > \frac{30}{70} > \frac{14}{70}$

or  $\frac{7}{10} > \frac{3}{7} > \frac{1}{5}$
