ANSWER: 1. I find the easiest solution is to make all the fractions in your set have a common denominator. For example, if you must order 2/4, 1/8, and 3/16 from least to greatest (or vice versa), choose the smallest number that all of the fractions' denominators go into. In this case, that number is 16. 2. Now ask yourself, 4 x ? = 16? The answer is 4, and so both the denominator (4) and numerator (2) of that fraction are multiplied by 4. Doing this gives you the unsimplified fraction 8/16. 3. Now repeat Step 2 for 1/8. 8 x 2 = 16, and 1 x 2 = 2, so your new fraction is 2/16. 4. Now you can easily order your fractions from greatest to least: 2/4, 3/16, 1/8. Or, in unsimplified terms: 8/16, 3/16, 2/16. __________________________________________________________________________________
First, you must find the least common denominator (LCD) of the group of fractions. Then, you'll need to express them all in terms of this least common denominator. Once they are all in common terms, you'll be able to easily re-order them.
By example, 1/2 can be expressed in infinite ways: 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, etc. By re-writing the fractions with the same denominator, you can more easily compare them.
An easier way to accomplish this is to convert them to decimals.
Usually smallest to largest, least to greatest.
Least common multiple is needed to find the least common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators Greatest common factor is needed when reducing fractions to their lowest terms
If that's 0.009, 0.05, 0.8 and 1.0, they are in order from least to greatest.
When doing fractions it is the greatest common factor (GCF) and the least common multiple (LCM). You want the GCF when you are reducing fractions to their simplest form. When changing the denominators to a common one, you want the LCM.
From least to greatest the numbers range 0.021, 0.099, and 0.845.
Listing the fractions is ascending (or descending) order.
you have to find like denominators and then you order them from least to greatest by there numerators
The order of these fractions from least to greatest is 2/5, 2/3, and 3/4.
you can find the least common denominator and then order them.
Convert them to decimals.
300, 288,298
You can order fractions by finding the percentage (top divided by bottom multiplied by 100).
Usually smallest to largest, least to greatest.
convert fractions to decimal then just compare them,and then put them in order!:)
Convert them to decimals and order them least to greatest.
5/8,5/6,2/3
As they all have the same denominator (12) order them by the numerator in order from least to greatest.
