Question

Write these fractions in ascending order. 5/8 3/4 1/2 9/16.

Answer 1

$\frac{5}{8}=\frac{5 \times 2}{8 \times 2}=\frac{10}{16} \\ \\ \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3 \times 4}{4 \times 4}=\frac{12}{16} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1 \times 8}{2 \times 8}=\frac{8}{16} \\ \\ \frac{9}{16} \\ \\ 8$

In ascending order:
$\boxed{\frac{1}{2}, \frac{9}{16}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{3}{4}}$

Answer 2

$\dfrac{5}{8}=\dfrac{10}{16}\\ \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{12}{16}\\ \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{8}{16}\\\\ \Downarrow\\\\ \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}$
