    Question

    Arrange the following fractions in ascending order.
    59,83,75,35,19.\frac{5}{9}, \frac{8}{3}, \frac{7}{5}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{1}{9}​.

    A.

    19,59,35,75,83\frac 19 , \frac59, \frac35, \frac75, \frac83

    B.

    59,75,35,19,83\frac59, \frac75, \frac35, \frac19, \frac83​​

    C.

    19,59,75,35,83\frac19, \frac59, \frac75, \frac35, \frac83​​

    D.

    83,75,35,59,19\frac83, \frac75, \frac35, \frac59, \frac19​​

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    The fractions to be arranged are
    59,83,75,35,19.\frac{5}{9}, \frac{8}{3}, \frac{7}{5}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{1}{9}​.​​
    Concept Used:
    To arrange fractions in ascending order, we need to compare their values by converting them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator or by converting them to decimals.
    Solution:
    Making denominator same for all fraction;
    LCM of 9, 3, 5, 9 = 45
    Now, 59=2545,83=12045,75=6345,35=2745,19=545,\frac{5}{9} = \frac{25}{45},\quad\frac{8}{3} = \frac{120}{45},\quad\frac{7}{5} = \frac{63}{45},\quad\frac{3}{5} = \frac{27}{45},\quad \frac{1}{9} = \frac{5}{45},​​
    Thus, the fractions in ascending order are:

    19,59,35,75,83\frac{1}{9}, \frac{5}{9}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{7}{5}, \frac{8}{3}​​

    Alternate Method:
    Convert the fractions to decimals:
    59=0.555,83=2.666,75=1.4,35=0.6,19=0.111\frac{5}{9} = 0.555, \quad \frac{8}{3} = 2.666, \quad \frac{7}{5} = 1.4, \quad \frac{3}{5} = 0.6, \quad \frac{1}{9} = 0.111​​
    Now, arrange the decimal values in ascending order:
    0.111, 0.555, 0.6, 1.4, 2.6660.
    Thus, the fractions in ascending order are:
    19,59,35,75,83\frac{1}{9}, \frac{5}{9}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{7}{5}, \frac{8}{3}​​
