Question
Write the following rational numbers in ascending order.
$\frac{-3}{5}, \frac{-2}{5}, \frac{-1}{5}$
$\frac{-3}{5}, \frac{-2}{5}, \frac{-1}{5}$
✓
Answer
Given, $\frac{-3}{5}, \frac{-2}{5}, \frac{-1}{5}$
Clearly, the given rational numbers have a common and positive denominators.
We observe that $1<2<3 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{5}<\frac{2}{5}<\frac{3}{5}$
Now, reversing the order, we get $\frac{-1}{5}>\frac{-2}{5}>\frac{-3}{5}$
Hence, the required ascending order is $\frac{-3}{5}, \frac{-2}{5}, \frac{-1}{5}$
