Question

Arrange the following in order from least to greatest: ⅛, 0.75, ¼, 2/6, 0.5

Answer 1

Answer:

The order from least to greatest is $\frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{6} , 0.5, 0.75$

Solution:

Given, set of numbers are $\frac{1}{8}, 0.75, \frac{1}{4}, 0.5$

We have to arrange them, in a order such that least to greatest, i.e. ascending order.

Now, as the given numbers are in different forms, let us convert all of them into decimal form for easy comparison.

$\text { So } \frac{1}{8}, 0.75,\frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{6}, 0.5$

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{1}{8} \rightarrow 0.125} \\\\ {0.75 \rightarrow 0.75} \\\\ {\frac{1}{4} \rightarrow 0.25} \\\\ {\frac{2}{6} \rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \rightarrow 0.334} \\\\ {0.5 \rightarrow 0.5}\end{array}$

Then, ascending order will be 0.125, 0.25, 0.334, 0.5, 0.75

$\text { Which means order will be } \frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{6}, 0.5,0.75$

Hence, the ascending order is $\frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{6}, 0.5,0.75$
