Question

Select the proper order from least to greatest for 1/2, 5/6, 2/7, 4/2?

Answer 1

The least is 2/7 then 1/2 then 5/6 and the greatest is 4/2

Answer 2

Answer: Proper order form least to greatest is given by

$\frac{2}{7},\frac{1}{2},\frac{5}{6},\frac{4}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$\frac{1}{2},\frac{5}{6},\frac{2}{7},\frac{4}{2}$

We need to write it in proper order from least to greatest.

For this we are required to take the L.C.M. of  denominators:

1)  L.C.M. of 2,6,7,2 = 42

2) Make the denominator 42:

$\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{21}{21}=\frac{1\times 21}{2\times 21}=\frac{21}{42}\\\\\frac{5}{6}\times \frac{7}{7}=\frac{5\times 7}{6\times 7}=\frac{35}{42}\\\\\frac{2}{7}\times \frac{6}{6}=\frac{2\times6}{7\times 6}=\frac{12}{42}\\\\\frac{4}{2}\times \frac{21}{21}=\frac{4\times 21}{2\times 21}=\frac{48}{42}$

From least to greatest :

$\frac{12}{42},\frac{21}{42},\frac{35}{42},\frac{48}{42}\\\\\frac{2}{7},\frac{1}{2},\frac{5}{6},\frac{4}{2}$
