Question

Arrange the numbers in the descending order : 3/11, 7/13, 9/19, 6/17

• A. 3/11, 9/19, 7/13, 6/17
• B. 7/13, 9/19, 6/17, 3/11
• C. 3/11, 7/13, 9/19, 6/17
• D. 3/11, 6/17, 7/13, 9/19

Hint:

If fractions are close together, the "Cross Multiplication" method is useful. To compare $7/13$ and $9/19$: \[ 7 \times 19 = 133 \quad \text{vs} \quad 9 \times 13 = 117 \] Since $133 > 117$, then $7/13 > 9/19$.
