identify the numeric order of these fraction and mixed numbers from largest to smallest. 1 1/2, 1/4, 1 3/4 5/6
To order the given fractions and mixed numbers from largest to smallest, we can convert them to improper fractions or decimals:
1. First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
1 1/2 = (2 * 1) + 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
1 3/4 = (4 * 1) + 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4
2. Order the improper fractions and remaining fraction:
7/4, 1/4, 5/6
3. Convert the fractions to decimals for easier comparison:
7/4 = 1.75
1/4 = 0.25
5/6 = 0.83 (approx.)
Therefore, the correct order from largest to smallest is:
1 3/4, 5/6, 1 1/2, 1/4
To determine the numeric order of these fractions and mixed numbers from largest to smallest, let's convert them all to improper fractions:
1 1/2 = 3/2
1/4 = 1/4
1 3/4 = 7/4
5/6 = 5/6
Now let's list them from largest to smallest:
7/4
3/2
5/6
1/4
Therefore, the numeric order from largest to smallest is:
1 3/4, 1 1/2, 5/6, 1/4.
To identify the numeric order of the given fractions and mixed numbers from largest to smallest, we can convert them all into improper fractions and then compare them.
1 1/2 can be written as an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator.
1 1/2 = (2 × 1) + 1 = 3/2
1/4 is already in proper fraction form.
1 3/4 can also be converted to an improper fraction using the same method:
1 3/4 = (4 × 1) + 3 = 7/4
5/6 is already in proper fraction form.
Now that we have all the fractions in the same format, we can compare them.
Converting 1/4 and 5/6 to equivalent fractions with common denominators, we get:
1/4 = 3/12
5/6 = 10/12
Now we have:
1 3/2, 3/12, 7/4, 10/12
To compare these fractions, we need to get them on the same denominator. In this case, 12 works as the common denominator.
1 3/2 = 6/4
3/12 remains as it is
7/4 remains as it is
10/12 remains as it is
Now we have:
6/4, 3/12, 7/4, 10/12
Comparing the numerators of these fractions:
6/4 = 1.5
3/12 = 0.25
7/4 = 1.75
10/12 = 0.83
From largest to smallest, the numeric order is:
1 3/4, 1 1/2, 5/6, 1/4
So, the correct order from largest to smallest is:
1 3/4, 1 1/2, 5/6, 1/4
