Question

What is 1/2, 3/4, and 5/48 ordered least to greatest

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{48}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{5}{48}$

Required

Order from least to greatest

To ease the process, we first convert the fractions to decimal:

$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

$\frac{3}{4} = 0.75$

$\frac{5}{48} = 0.104167$

By comparison:

0.104167 is less than 0.5 and 0.5 is less than 0.75

So, we have:

$0.104167 < 0.5$ and $0.5 < 0.75$

So, from the least to greatest:

0.104167, 0.5, 0.75

Convert  to fraction

$\frac{5}{48}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

5/48, 1/2 and 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to make a common denominator for all the numbers first.

1/2 is equal to 24/48

-multiply both sides by 24 because 48 divided by 2 is 24

3/4 equals 36/48

-multiply both sides by 12 because 48 divided by 4 equals 12

so you get:

24/48 (1/2)

36/48 (3/4)

and 5/48

now you order them:

5/48

24/48

36/48

and then you change them back to their original form:

5/48

1/2

3/4
