Question

Order least to greatest 0.5, 3/16, 0.75, 5/48

Answer 1

When you make them all decimal numbers, they are
0.5, 0.1875, 0.75, 0.10416...
so least to greatest is:
5/48, 3/16, 0.5, 0.75

Answer 2

Basically, you should either convert all of them to fractions or all of them to decimals. the answer below converts it into decimals, so i'll convert it to fractions as another example.

0.5 is equal to 1/2
3/16 stays 3/16.
0.75 is equal to 3/4.
5/48 stays as 5/48.

Now, make the denominators equal. The biggest denominator we have is 48. So, we'll make everything into 1/48s.

0.5=1/2=24/48
3/16=9/48
0.75=3/4=36/48
5/48=5/48

now, we'll just order them from least to greatest. We find out by the numerator, since the denominators are all equal

5/48=5/48
3/16=9/48
0.5=1/2=24/48
0.75=3/4=36/48

that is your answer. 5/48, 3/16, 0.5, 0.75. Thanks.
