what is an easier way to make decimal and fractions in least to greatest order. can u give me an example and thank u
or greatest to least
The easiest way is to turn all fractions into decimals.
1/8 = 0.125
1/3 = 0.333
3/8 = 0.375
To arrange decimals and fractions in least to greatest order, you can follow these steps:
1. Convert the given fractions into decimals, if needed. To do this, divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, if you have the fraction 3/4, divide 3 by 4 to get 0.75.
2. Compare the decimals directly. Start with the smallest decimal and continue to the largest decimal. For example, if you have the decimals 0.5, 0.25, and 0.75, the order from least to greatest would be 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75.
3. If you have fractions and decimals mixed together, compare the decimals first and then compare the fractions separately. Once you have arranged the decimals and arranged the fractions, combine them to get the final order.
Example: Let's say we have the following decimals and fractions:
Decimals: 0.2, 0.63, 0.5
Fractions: 1/4, 3/8, 1/2
Step 1: Compare the decimals - 0.2, 0.5, 0.63 (from least to greatest).
Step 2: Compare the fractions separately - 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 (from least to greatest).
Step 3: Combine the decimal and fraction order -
0.2, 1/4, 0.5, 3/8, 0.63, 1/2 (from least to greatest).
Therefore, the final order would be 0.2, 1/4, 0.5, 3/8, 0.63, 1/2.
