Understanding Descending Order of Fractions

When comparing fractions, we need to consider their values in descending order. This means arranging the fractions from the largest to the smallest value. To determine the descending order of fractions, we can compare their numerators and denominators. In this article, we will explore four sets of fractions and determine which one is in descending order.

Set A: $$\frac{3,5,7,9}{5,7}, 9$$

To compare the fractions in Set A, we need to simplify each fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator. This will give us the decimal value of each fraction.

$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$
$\frac{5}{7} = 0.7143$
$\frac{7}{5} = 1.4$
$\frac{9}{7} = 1.2857$

Now, let's compare the decimal values of the fractions in Set A:

$\frac{7}{5} = 1.4$$ (largest)$
$\frac{9}{7} = 1.2857$
$\frac{5}{7} = 0.7143$
$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$
$\frac{5}{5} = 1$
$\frac{7}{5} = 1.4$
$\frac{9}{5} = 1.8$

Now, let's compare the decimal values of the fractions in Set B:

$\frac{9}{5} = 1.8$$ (largest)$
$\frac{7}{5} = 1.4$
$\frac{5}{5} = 1$
$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$
$\frac{3}{7} = 0.4286$
$\frac{3}{9} = 0.3333$
$\frac{3}{11} = 0.2727$

Now, let's compare the decimal values of the fractions in Set C:

$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$$ (largest)$
$\frac{3}{7} = 0.4286$
$\frac{3}{9} = 0.3333$
$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$
$\frac{5}{5} = 1$
$\frac{7}{5} = 1.4$
$\frac{5}{5} = 1$

Now, let's compare the decimal values of the fractions in Set D:

$\frac{7}{5} = 1.4$$ (largest)$
$\frac{5}{5} = 1$
$\frac{5}{5} = 1$
