Arrange the fractions 2/3, 4/5, 1/2 and 3/4 in descending order.
A4/5 > 2/3 > 1/2 > 3/4
B4/5 > 3/4 > 2/3 > 1/2
C1/2 > 2/3 > 4/5 > 3/4
D3/4 > 1/2 > 4/5 > 2/3
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 4/5 > 3/4 > 2/3 > 1/2
1. Convert to decimals: 2/3 ≈ 0.667, 4/5 = 0.8, 1/2 = 0.5, 3/4 = 0.75.
2. Order them from largest to smallest: 0.8, 0.75, 0.667, 0.5.
3. So the descending order is 4/5 > 3/4 > 2/3 > 1/2.
