    B
    `7/9,3/5,6/7`

    C
    `7/9,6/7,3/5`

    D
    `6/7,7/9,3/5`

    Note: `3/7=0.6, 7/9=0.777 and 6/7=0.857` Clearly, 0.857>0.777>0.6

  2. Question: Which of the following sets of fractions is in ascending order?

    A
    `5/6,6/8,7/9,11/13`

    B
    `6/8,7/9,5/6,11/13`

    C
    `11/13,5/6,7/9,6/8`

    D
    `11/13,7/9,6/8,5/6`

    Note: Converting each into decimal form, we get: `5/6=0.833,6/8=0.75,7/9=0.777,11/13=0.846.` Clearly, `0.75<0.777<0.833<0.846` or `6/8<7/9<5/6<11/13.`

  3. Question: Which part contains the fractions in ascending order?

    A
    `11/14,16/19,19/21`

    B
    `16/19,11/14,19/21`

    A
    `6723 xx 10^-5`

    B
    `67.23 xx 10^-7`

    C
    `6.723 xx 10^-6`

    D
    None

    Note: `0.000006723=0.000006723 xx 10^6/10^6 = 6.723/10^6=6.723 xx 10^-6.`

    A
    -4

    B
    -3

    C
    -2

    D
    -1

    Note: `10^k = 0.001125/1.125 = 1.125/1125 = 1.125 xx 10^3/1125 xx 10^3 = 1/10^3 = 10^-3`. :. k=-3.
