$$\frac{3}{5}, \frac{6}{11}, \frac{7}{18}, \frac{5}{16}, \frac{8}{11}$$

Out of the following fractions which one is the second lowest ?

Correct option is C

Given:

Fractions:

$$\frac{3}{5}, \frac{6}{11}, \frac{7}{18}, \frac{5}{16}, \frac{8}{11}$$​

We are tasked to find the second lowest fraction.

Solution:

1. Convert all fractions to decimals for comparison:

$$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$$​

$$\frac{6}{11} = 0.5454 \ldots \text{ (approximately } 0.545 \text{)}$$​

$$\frac{7}{18} = 0.3888 \ldots \text{ (approximately } 0.389 \text{)}$$​

$$\frac{5}{16} = 0.3125$$​

$$\frac{8}{11} = 0.7272 \ldots \text{ (approximately } 0.727 \text{)}$$​

2. Arrange the decimals in ascending order:

$$0.3125 \,(\frac{5}{16}), \; 0.389 \,(\frac{7}{18}), \; 0.545 \,(\frac{6}{11}), \; 0.6 \,(\frac{3}{5}), \; 0.727 \,(\frac{8}{11}$$​)

3. Identify the second lowest fraction:

The second lowest fraction is:

$$\frac{7}{18}$$​

Final Answer:

The second lowest fraction is $$\frac{7}{18}$$​
