An easy way for me to do this is to either make all of the fractions into decimals or all the decimals into fractions, whatever you prefer. I prefer fractions, but for typing reasons I’m going to make them all decimals. Making 5/48 into a decimal you divide 5 by 48 and get 0.104... and divide 3 by 16 and get 0.1875. Then from there, look at whatever tenths place number is the least (the number after the decimal). Two of them have one, so moving onto the next number, 8>0, which means 0.104 is less then 0.1875. Then 5<7. So from least to greatest, 5/48 (0.104), 3/16 (0.1875), 0.5, 0.75.
Good Luck!

which means each person receive 45g cake
In order to find the unit rate of acres per day, or in other words, how many acres can they plant in one day, you must divide 5/8, the number of acres planted, by 4/5, the number of days it took to plant. When you divide the two fractions, first set up an expression:
5/8<span>÷4/5
Then, to make things simpler, turn the division expression into a multiplication statement so that you have 5/8*5/4. Then multiply straight across and you get your answer as 25/32. This means that the workers can plant 25/32 acres per day.</span>
