You can either change all of the fractions to decimals or you can get common denomiators.
You wil work with smaller numbers if you change
4/6 to 2/3
4/8 to 1/2
Now, you need a common denominator for
2/3 1/2 3/4 5/8
24 would work as your denominator.
Once you have the fractions in terms of ?/24
You can list them from least to greatest.
I need help in ordering fractions
To order the numbers from least to greatest, we need to compare their values. In this case, we have:
4/6, 4/8, 3/4, 5/8
To compare fractions, we can either find a common denominator or convert them into decimals. Let's convert them into decimals:
4/6 = 0.66667
4/8 = 0.5
3/4 = 0.75
5/8 = 0.625
Now we can see that the decimals from least to greatest are:
0.5, 0.625, 0.66667, 0.75
Finally, let's convert them back into fractions:
0.5 = 1/2
0.625 = 5/8
0.66667 ≈ 2/3
0.75 = 3/4
So the fractions from least to greatest are:
1/2, 5/8, 2/3, 3/4
