How do 3 over 4 1 over 2 7 over 8 1 over 8 look from least to greatest?

Answer 1

To successfully order 3/4, 1/2, 7/8, and 1/8, we need to find a common denominator for all of them. More specifically, the lowest common.

Looking at the denominator we have 4, 2, 8 and 8. The common denominator would be 8. We need to make the denominator for each fraction the same.

3/4 x 2/2 = 6/8

1/2 x 4/4 = 4/8

7/8 x 1/1 = 7/8

1/8 x 1/1 = 1/8

So from least to greatest we have 1/8, 4/8, 6/8, and 7/8. Using the original values that would be 1/8, 1/2, 3/4, and 7/8.
