Order from least to greatest. A.1/4,0.2,1/2
B.1/2,1/4,0.2
C.0.2,1/4,1/2
D.0.2,1/2,1/4
Change them either to decimals or to fractions with the same denominator.
What do you get?
To order the given numbers from least to greatest, we need to compare their values. Let's look at each option and determine the correct order:
A. 1/4, 0.2, 1/2:
To begin, let's convert the given decimals to fractions. 0.2 can be written as 1/5, so we have 1/4, 1/5, 1/2.
Comparing the fractions, we see that 1/5 is the smallest, followed by 1/4, and then 1/2.
So, the correct order is: A. 1/5, 1/4, 1/2.
B. 1/2, 1/4, 0.2:
Converting 0.2 to a fraction, we have 1/5. So the given order becomes 1/2, 1/4, 1/5.
Comparing the fractions, we see that 1/5 is the smallest, followed by 1/4, and then 1/2.
So, the correct order is: B. 1/5, 1/4, 1/2.
C. 0.2, 1/4, 1/2:
No conversion needed here since 0.2 is already in decimal form. We have 0.2, 1/4, 1/2.
Comparing the values, we see that 0.2 is the smallest, followed by 1/4, and then 1/2.
So, the correct order is: C. 0.2, 1/4, 1/2.
D. 0.2, 1/2, 1/4:
The given order is already in a decimal and fractional form: 0.2, 1/2, 1/4.
Comparing the values, we see that 0.2 is the smallest, followed by 1/4, and then 1/2.
So, the correct order is: D. 0.2, 1/4, 1/2.
Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is: A. 1/5, 1/4, 1/2.
