Can u put 4/8 and 2/3 and 1/6 in order from least to greatest ??
4/8 = 12/24
2/3 = 16/24
1/6 = 4/24
1/3 1/4 1/6 3/8 5/12
Certainly! To put the fractions 4/8, 2/3, and 1/6 in order from least to greatest, we need to compare their values.
One way to compare fractions is to find a common denominator for all of them. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 8, 3, and 6 is 24.
Next, we need to convert each fraction to have the same denominator. Let's do that:
4/8 = (4 × 3) / (8 × 3) = 12/24
2/3 = (2 × 8) / (3 × 8) = 16/24
1/6 = (1 × 4) / (6 × 4) = 4/24
Now that all fractions have the same denominator of 24, we can compare their numerators:
4/24, 16/24, and 12/24
Now it is clear that from least to greatest, the order of the fractions is:
4/24, 12/24, 16/24
Finally, let's simplify the fractions if possible:
4/24 can be simplified to 1/6
12/24 can be simplified to 1/2
16/24 can be simplified to 2/3
So, the final order from least to greatest is:
1/6, 1/2, and 2/3
