Question

Order from least to greatest. 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 5/8

Answer 1

Answer:

From least to greatest:

1/4 , 1/2 , 4/8 , 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

if we observe the denominators (i.e 2, 4 and 8) we can see that the Least common multiple of the denominators is 8. Hence in order to compare the fractions easily, we should express all of them with a denominator of 8

3/4 = 6/8

1/2 = 4/8

1/4 = 2/8

5/8 = 5/8 (already has a denominator of 8)

now we can compare numerators. We can see that

2/8 < 4/8 < 5/8 < 6/8

or

1/4 < 1/2 < 4/8 < 3/4   (answer)
