Question

Explain how to use a horizontal number line to order four fractions from least to greatest.

Answer 1

Answer:

To order fractions from least to greatest, start by finding the lowest common denominator for all of the fractions. Next, convert each of the fractions by dividing the lowest common denominator by the denominator and then multiplying the top and bottom of the fraction by your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for the above problem: We first find the least common denominator by finding the least common multiple for 4, 3, 2, 6, and 8. We find the LCM by the prime factorization method. Next, place the fractions in order from least to greatest.
