34, 23, 13, 27

Solution :

The correct set of fractions arranged in descending order is 45, 58, 37, 13.

Descending order means arranging values from largest to smallest. To compare the given fractions easily, we can convert each fraction into its decimal form:

1. 45=0.800

2. 58=0.625

3. 370.428

4. 130.333

Now, comparing these decimal values from largest to smallest:

0.800>0.625>0.428>0.333

Replacing the decimals with their corresponding original fractions gives:

45>58>37>13

Thus, the fractions arranged in descending order are 45, 58, 37, 13.
