(i) 87,1615,65
LCM of 8, 16 and 6 = 48.
Write the given fractions as equivalent like fractions.
⇒87=8×67×6=4842⇒1615=16×315×3=4845⇒65=6×85×8=4840
As 40 < 42 < 45,
4840<4842<4845⇒65<87<1615.
Hence, the given fractions in ascending order are 65,87,1615.
(ii) 43,2215,3326
LCM of 4, 22 and 33 = 132.
Write the given fractions as equivalent like fractions.
⇒43=4×333×33=13299⇒2215=22×615×6=13290⇒3326=33×426×4=132104
As 90 < 99 < 104,
13290<13299<132104⇒2215<43<3326.
Hence, the given fractions in ascending order are 2215,43,3326.
(iii) 125,41,87,65
LCM of 12, 4, 8 and 6 = 24.
Write the given fractions as equivalent like fractions.
⇒125=12×25×2=2410⇒41=4×61×6=246⇒87=8×37×3=2421⇒65=6×45×4=2420
As 6 < 10 < 20 < 21,
246<2410<2420<2421⇒41<125<65<87.
Hence, the given fractions in ascending order are 41,125,65,87.
