Change the fractions to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
4/3 = 1.333
7/8 = 0.875
3/16 = 0.1875
I'm sure you can put them into order, starting with the smallest.
To change fractions into ascending order, we need to arrange them from smallest to largest. Here's how to do it for the given fractions:
1. 4/3, 7/8, 3/16
First, let's convert these fractions to have the same denominator.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 3, 8, and 16 is 48.
2. Converting 4/3:
Multiply the numerator and denominator by 16 (the LCM divided by the current denominator, 3):
4/3 * 16/16 = 64/48
So, 4/3 is equal to 64/48.
3. Converting 7/8:
Multiply the numerator and denominator by 6 (the LCM divided by the current denominator, 8):
7/8 * 6/6 = 42/48
So, 7/8 is equal to 42/48.
Now, let's compare these converted fractions.
4/3 = 64/48
7/8 = 42/48
3/16 = 9/48
By comparing the numerators of the fractions, we can determine the ascending order. Since 9/48 is the smallest, then 3/16 comes first. Then, we have 42/48, which is 7/8, followed by 64/48, which is 4/3.
Thus, the fractions in ascending order are:
3/16, 7/8, 4/3.
