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. $\frac{3}{13} \approx 0.2308$
- B. $\frac{4}{17} \approx 0.2353$
- 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:
- $0.4667$ (D)
- $0.4000$ (E)
- $0.2632$ (C)
- $0.2353$ (B)
- $0.2308$ (A)
Final Descending Order
Therefore, the proportions in descending order are D, E, C, B, A.
This corresponds to Option 1.
