Questions Related to writing and expanding numbers

Arrange the given fractions in ascending order:

$\displaystyle\frac{2}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$, $\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$

  1. $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$, $\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$, $\displaystyle\frac{2}{7}$

  2. $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$, $\displaystyle\frac{2}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$

  3. $\displaystyle\frac{2}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$, $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$

  4. $\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$, $\displaystyle\frac{2}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

First, we make all divisors common.
So l.c.m of $7,5,4 = 140$


Now $\dfrac{2}{7}\times \dfrac{20}{20} = \dfrac{40}{140}$

$\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{28}{28} = \dfrac{112}{140}$

$\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{35}{35} = \dfrac{102}{140}$

So the order will be $\displaystyle\frac{2}{7}$, $\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$, $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$

Which of the following decimals are arranged in ascending order?

  1. $0.5, 0.42, 0.382$

  2. $11.001, 11.1, 11.21$

  3. $20.3, 30.02, 23.25$

  4. $8.9, 8.86, 8.094$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Ascending order means increasing the order of a series, sequence or pattern.

Option A= $0.5>0.42>0.382$ : Numbers are in descending order
Option B= $11.001<11.1<11.21$ : Numbers are in ascending order
Option C= $20.3<30.02>23.25$ : Numbers are not in proper order
Option D= $8.9>8.86>8.094$ :Numbers are in descending order.

Option $B$ is the correct answer.

Which of the following fractions are in order from the least to the greatest?

  1. $\dfrac {1}{2}, \dfrac {2}{3}, \dfrac {2}{6}$

  2. $\dfrac {1}{2}, \dfrac {2}{6}, \dfrac {2}{3}$

  3. $\dfrac {2}{6}, \dfrac {2}{3}, \dfrac {1}{2}$

  4. $\dfrac {2}{6}, \dfrac {1}{2}, \dfrac {2}{3}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

First convert the given fractions into like fractions.
L.C.M. of $2, 3, 6 = 6$
So,
$\dfrac {1}{2} = \dfrac {1\times 3}{2\times 3} = \dfrac {3}{6}; \dfrac {2}{3} = \dfrac {2\times 2}{3\times 2} = \dfrac {4}{6}; \dfrac {2}{6} = \dfrac {2\times 1}{6\times 1} = \dfrac {2}{6}$
So, ascending order is,
$\dfrac {2}{6}, \dfrac {3}{6}, \dfrac {4}{6}$ i.e. $\dfrac {2}{6}, \dfrac {1}{2}, \dfrac {2}{3}$.

Smallest $6$-digit number that can be formed using $9,2,6,0,3,1$ (using each digit only once) is _________ .

  1. $012369$

  2. $102369$

  3. $106239$

  4. $103269$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To find the smallest digit start arranging the numbers in ascending order.

However, $0$ cannot be the first or else the number would become $5$ digit.
Therefore, $102369$ is the correct answer.

Which of the following options is arranged in descending order?

  1. $7,39,154$; $7,93,154$; $1,73,541$; $7,93,951$
