Example 1

Which of the below series are arranged in ascending order?

1. ⅓, ⅗, ⅕, ⅚, 7/9 
2. ⅕, ⅓, ⅗, 7/9, ⅚
3. ⅚, ⅓, ⅗, ⅕ ,7/9
4. ⅕, ⅓, ⅗, ⅚, 7/9

Now, if you calculate the decimal value of each fraction and then arrange it, it would take a lot of time. But if you have the decimal value memorized, you can arrange it instantaneously without picking up a pen.

Example 2

One fourth of one third of two fifth of a number is 15. What will be 40% of that number

To answer this question you should start with 15 and multiply the inverted fractions one by one.

15 x 5/2 x 3/1 x 4/1

=450

Now 40% is nothing but ⅖

So 450 x ⅖ = 180
