Arrange the following fractions in descending order.
(A) $\frac{5}{9}$
(B) $\frac{7}{11}$
(C) $\frac{8}{15}$
(D) $\frac{11}{17}$

(A), (B), (C), (D)

(A), (C), (D), (B)

(D), (B), (C), (A)

(D), (B), (A), (C)

Correct Option: 4

We know that

\frac{1}{9}=0.11111....

\frac{1}{9}\times5=0.5555....

--> A

And

\frac{1}{11}=0.09090909...

\frac{1}{11}\times7=0.636363...

--> B

Since we have established B > A, we can eliminate Options 1 and 2.

We just need to find C now.

\frac{8}{15}=\text{roughly } 0.53

--> C, which is less than A.

Hence it's Option 4
