Question

Can you help me by puting these in least to greatest form Ordering fractions:

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's change all the fractions so that they can have a common denominator.

First, list the multiples of each denominator to find the GCM

6 ⇒ 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48
8 ⇒ 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48
12 ⇒ 12, 24, 36, 48
16 ⇒ 16, 32, 48

The GCM IS 48

$\frac{5 \times 8}{6 \times 8} = \frac{40}{48}$

$\frac{5 \times 6}{8 \times 6} = \frac{30}{48}$

$\frac{11 \times 4}{12 \times 4} = \frac{44}{48}$

$\frac{9 \times 3}{16 \times 3} = \frac{27}{48}$

Now, order the fractions

$\frac{9}{16}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{5}{6} ,\frac{11}{12}$
