Order the fractions from least to greatest
2/3
5/8
1/8
3/4
Either change them all to decimals or change them to fractions with a common denominator of 24.
1/8
5/8
2/3
3/4
Right.
To order fractions from least to greatest, you compare the numerators (the numbers on the top) and the denominators (the numbers on the bottom). Here is how you can do it step by step:
1. Compare the denominators. In this case, we have 3, 8, 8, and 4. Since 3 is the smallest denominator, we start with the fraction 2/3.
2. Compare the numerators of 2/3 and 5/8. Since 5 is greater than 2, we place 5/8 after 2/3.
3. Compare the numerator of 5/8 and 1/8. Since both fractions have the same denominator, 8, we only need to compare the numerators. In this case, 5 is greater than 1, so we place 1/8 before 5/8.
4. Now, we compare 1/8 and 3/4. We notice that 3/4 has a larger numerator than 1/8, so we place it after 1/8.
Putting it all together, the fractions in order from least to greatest are:
1/8, 2/3, 5/8, 3/4
