Arrange 1/8,1/4,1/5,1/2,1/3,1/9 in ascending order.
1/9, 1/8, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2
All the numerators are the same. Look at all the denominators, the biggest number goes first; and smaller numbers until the end:
1/9,1/8,1/5,1/4,1/3,1/2
Which of these fractions is the largest?
1/8,
1/4,
1/5,
1/2
Please help and hurry ty
1/2
To arrange the fractions in ascending order, we need to compare their values. One way to compare fractions is to find a common denominator for all the fractions.
The common denominator can be obtained by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which in this case is 360 (let's write down the multiples of each denominator and find the least common multiple):
1/8 : 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315, 360
1/4 : 90, 180, 270, 360
1/5 : 72, 144, 216, 288, 360
1/2 : 180, 360
1/3 : 120, 240, 360
1/9 : 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320, 360
Now, with the fractions written with a common denominator of 360, we can compare them more easily. Let's list them in ascending order:
1/9, 1/8, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2
So, the fractions in ascending order are 1/9, 1/8, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2.
