How do you order mixed numbers?

Answer 1

One easy way is to write them all as fractions with the same denominator. They will no longer be mixed numbers, but each will be the equivalent.

For example

1 1/2 1 2/3 and 1 and 3/4

So first, let's rewrite them not as mixed numbers

3/2, 5/3 7/4

Now a common denominator is 12

So we rewrite them with 12 as the denominator

18/12, 20/12 and 21/12. Now ordering them is straightforward. The larger the numerator, the bigger the number.
