i need to keep my a+ in math, and finish my homework TONIGHT. What is 5/8, 5/9, and 5/10 in least to greatest.
for the same numerator
the bigger the bottom, the smaller the result
surely 1/4 is less than 1/2 :)
Colton has math and reading homework tonight. Colton can solve each math problem in 3 minutes and he can read each page in 1.5 minutes. The number of pages Colton read is twice the number of math problems he solved. and it took him 54 minutes to complete all of his homework. Determine the number of math problems Colton solved and the number of pages he read.
To determine the order from least to greatest for the given fractions, 5/8, 5/9, and 5/10, you can follow these steps:
1. Find a common denominator for the fractions. In this case, the least common denominator would be 360 because it is a multiple of 8, 9, and 10.
2. Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator of 360:
For 5/8, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 45 (360 divided by 8), giving you 225/360.
For 5/9, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 40 (360 divided by 9), giving you 200/360.
For 5/10, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 36 (360 divided by 10), giving you 180/360.
3. Now that all the fractions have the same denominator, you can arrange them in least to greatest order based on their numerators:
180/360, 200/360, 225/360.
Simplify each fraction to its lowest terms if needed. In this case, they are already in simplest form.
4. Rearrange the fractions in ascending order:
180/360 < 200/360 < 225/360
5. Convert the fractions back to their original form (if desired):
5/10 < 5/9 < 5/8
Therefore, in least to greatest order, the fractions are 5/10, 5/9, and 5/8.
