Step-by-step explanation:

to compare them, we should all bring to the same denominator.

the lcm (lowest common multiplier) is the that denominator.

let's use the approach of the prime factors :

3 : 3

5 : 5

32 : 2×2×2×2×2

24 : 2×2×2×3

the lcm is the combination of the longest "streaks" of the prime factors.

so,

2×2×2×2×2 × 3 × 5 = 32×15 = 480

2/-3 = -2/3 = -320/480 (as 3×160 = 480)

-4/5 = -4×96 / 5×96 = -384/480 (as 5×96 = 480)

21/-32 = -21/32 = -315/480 (as 32×15 = 480)

-15/24 = -15×20 / 24×20 = -300/480 (24×20 = 480)

as

-384/480 < -320/480 < -315/480 < -300/480

we can say

-4/5 < -2/3 < -21/32 < -15/24

How can I write a story about the doubles plus 2 fact 5+7=12.??
aksik [14]
One <u>possible story</u> is:

I had 5 apples.  My sister gave me 7, and now I have 12.

Explanation:

We are writing a story for 5+7=12.  This means we need to start with 5 objects and somehow gain 7 more.  In our story, we start with 5 apples and we get 7 more.

The last part is that our total must be 12.  In our story, we end with 12 apples.
