Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

GCF = 3

Factor out the GCF ( Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF)

3(3x^2/3 + -12x/3 - 15/3)

Simplify each term in parentheses

3(x^2 - 4x - 5)

Factor x^2 - 4x - 5

3(x - 5)(x + 1)

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{11}>\frac{\pi }{24}>\frac{3}{25}>\frac{9}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the order of the lengths in the order from greatest to least we will make the denominator of the given fractions common and then compare the numerators.

$\frac{3}{25}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{11}, \frac{9}{100},\frac{\pi }{24}$
