Put this to least to greatest--> 5/12 11/18 4/7 9/ 20
9/10 11/12 6/7 7/8
You first need to convert all fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Or a simpler way is to convert them all to decimals.
9/10 = 0.900
11/12 = 0.917
etc.
We'll be glad to check your answer.

To put the fractions in order from least to greatest, you can either find a common denominator for all fractions and compare their numerators, or convert them to decimals and compare the decimal values.
Method 1: Finding a Common Denominator
To use this method, find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which in this case is 840 (12, 18, 7, and 20 all divide evenly into 840). Then, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 840:
5/12 = 350/840
11/18 = 495/840
4/7 = 480/840
9/20 = 378/840
Now, compare the numerators:
350/840 < 495/840 < 480/840 < 378/840
Reorder the fractions back to their original form:
5/12 < 11/18 < 4/7 < 9/20
Method 2: Converting Fractions to Decimals
To use this method, divide the numerator by the denominator for each fraction and compare the decimal values.
5/12 ≈ 0.4167
11/18 ≈ 0.6111
4/7 ≈ 0.5714
9/20 ≈ 0.45
Compare the decimal values:
0.4167 < 0.45 < 0.5714 < 0.6111
Convert the decimals back to their original fraction form:
0.4167 ≈ 5/12
0.45 ≈ 9/20
0.5714 ≈ 4/7
0.6111 ≈ 11/18
Reorder the fractions back to their original form:
5/12 < 9/20 < 4/7 < 11/18
