To order fractions from least to greatest, you need to compare their values. Here's how you can do it:
1. Find a common denominator: To compare fractions, it is helpful to have a common denominator. In this case, the denominators are 8, 24, and 3. The least common multiple of these numbers is 24, so let's convert all the fractions to have a denominator of 24.
2. Convert the fractions: To convert a fraction to have the same denominator, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same value.
- For 3/8, multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 to get (3*3)/(8*3) = 9/24.
- For 19/24, it already has the same denominator, so it stays the same.
- For 2/3, multiply the numerator and denominator by 8 to get (2*8)/(3*8) = 16/24.
Now, we have the fractions: 9/24, 19/24, and 16/24.
3. Compare the numerators: Since all the fractions now have the same denominator, you can compare them by looking at their numerators.
- 9/24 is the smallest since 9 is the smallest numerator.
- 16/24 comes next since 16 is larger than 9 but smaller than 19.
- 19/24 is the largest since 19 is the largest numerator.
Therefore, the fractions in order from least to greatest are: 9/24, 16/24, 19/24.
