Question

What is the shortset 1/3 2/5 3/10 or 1/4

Answer 1

3/10 is least greatest becasue it is divided up into more sections with less colored in

Answer 2

$\frac{1}{4}$ because $\frac{2}{5} , \frac{3}{10}, \frac{1}{4}$ can all be made into the LCM of 20 and turns the fractions into$\frac{8}{20}, \frac{6}{20}, \frac{5}{20}$ respectively. This makes$\frac{1}{4}$ the smallest of that group. That just leaves $\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}$. By using the exact same process, you use 3 and 4's LCM of 12 and get $\frac{4}{12}, \frac{3}{12}$. That makes $\frac{1}{4}$ the smallest of the group.
