How do you order these fractions least to the greatest, 4/7, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3?
can you put this number in least to greatest: 5/12,13/36,7/18,5/6

5-6 4-7 2-3
2/3 4/10/ 3/12
8/21 6/7 1/3 least to greatest
0.38,,1/3,3/10
0.38,1/3,3/10
0.38,1/3,3/10p
To order the fractions least to greatest, you can follow these steps:
1. Find a common denominator for all the fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 42.
2. Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 42 by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the appropriate factor:
- 4/7 = (4/7) * (6/6) = 24/42
- 1/2 = (1/2) * (21/21) = 21/42
- 3/5 = (3/5) * (8/8) = 24/40
- 2/3 = (2/3) * (14/14) = 28/42
3. Now, you can arrange the fractions in ascending order:
- 21/42, 24/40, 24/42, 28/42
4. Simplify the fractions if possible:
- 21/42 simplifies to 1/2
- 24/40 simplifies to 3/5
- 24/42 cannot be simplified
- 28/42 simplifies to 2/3
Therefore, the fractions ordered from least to greatest are:
1/2, 3/5, 24/42, 2/3
For the second set of fractions, let's follow the same steps:
1. Find a common denominator for all the fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 36.
2. Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 36 by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the appropriate factor:
- 5/12 = (5/12) * (3/3) = 15/36
- 13/36 cannot be simplified
- 7/18 = (7/18) * (2/2) = 14/36
- 5/6 = (5/6) * (6/6) = 30/36
3. Arrange the fractions in ascending order:
- 15/36, 13/36, 14/36, 30/36
4. Simplify the fractions if possible:
- 15/36 cannot be simplified
- 13/36 cannot be simplified
- 14/36 simplifies to 7/18
- 30/36 simplifies to 5/6
Therefore, the fractions ordered from least to greatest are:
15/36, 13/36, 7/18, 5/6
