Question

Place these fractions in  order from least to greatest.     14/25      29/50     53/100     13/20      3/5

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this would be to first convert each fraction to have a common denominator. Out of all 5 denominators, it would be easiest to convert them to 100.

53/100 is good already.
29/50 ⇒58/100, as 50x2=100, 29x2=58
3/5 ⇒ 60/100, as 5x20=100, 3x20=60
13/20 ⇒ 65/100, as 20x5=100, 13x5=65
14/25 ⇒ 56/100, as 25x4=100, 14x4=56

Now that we have our new fractions, we can order them!
53/100, 56/100, 58/100, 60/100, 65/100

Let's use our original fractions to give the proper answer:
53/100, 14/25, 29/50, 3/5, 13/20
