Question

If the fractions `5/14, 6/11, 7/9, 8/13` and `9/10` are arranged in ascending order of their values, which one will be the fourth?

Options

• `7/9`

• `5/14`

• `8/13`

• `9/10`

Answer 1

`7/9`

Explanation:

The decimal equivalent of fractions:

`5/14` = 0.36; `6/11` = 0.545; `7/9` = 0.78; `8/13` = 0.62

`9/10` = 0.9

Clearly, 0.36 < 0.545 < 0.62 < 0.78 < 0.9 i.e., `5/14 < 6/11 < 8/13 < 7/9 < 9/10`
