Ordering Proportions in Descending Order

To arrange the given proportions in descending order, we convert each fraction into its decimal form to facilitate comparison.

  • A. $\frac{3}{13} \approx 0.2308$

  • C. $\frac{5}{19} \approx 0.2632$
  • D. $\frac{7}{15} \approx 0.4667$
  • E. $\frac{2}{5} = 0.4000$

Comparing Decimal Values

Now, we arrange these decimal values from largest to smallest:

  1. $0.4667$ (D)
  2. $0.4000$ (E)
  3. $0.2632$ (C)
  4. $0.2353$ (B)
