Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Convert each fraction to decimal form:

45=0.8\frac{4}{5} = 0.8

78=0.875\frac{7}{8} = 0.875

37=0.428...\frac{3}{7} = 0.428...

59=0.555...\frac{5}{9} = 0.555...


Comparing the decimal values:

(A) = 0.8

(B) = 0.875

(C) = 0.43

(D) = 0.56


Arranging in decreasing order (largest to smallest):

0.875 is the largest → (B)

0.8 is next → (A)

0.56 comes after → (D)

0.43 is the smallest → (C)


The fractions in decreasing order: (B), (A), (D), (C)
