calculate the decimal number for each fraction and identify the ascending numerical order of the decimal numbers.
5/8, 1/4, 3/8, 2/3, 6/7
To calculate the decimal number for each fraction, you need to divide the numerator (the number on top) by the denominator (the number on the bottom).
Let's calculate the decimal number for each fraction:
5/8 = 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625
1/4 = 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25
3/8 = 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375
2/3 = 2 ÷ 3 = 0.6666... (repeating decimal)
6/7 = 6 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.8571 (rounded to four decimal places)
Now that we have calculated the decimal numbers, let's identify the ascending numerical order.
Ordering the decimal numbers from smallest to largest:
0.25, 0.375, 0.625, 0.8571, 0.6666...
So, the ascending numerical order of the decimal numbers is:
1/4, 3/8, 5/8, 6/7, 2/3.
all are wrong
To find the decimal number for each fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator:
5/8 = 0.625
1/4 = 0.25
3/8 = 0.375
2/3 = 0.666...
6/7 = 0.857142857...
Now, let's identify the ascending numerical order of the decimal numbers:
0.25 < 0.375 < 0.625 < 0.666... < 0.857142857...
Thus, the ascending numerical order of the decimal numbers for the given fractions is:
1/4, 3/8, 5/8, 2/3, 6/7
To calculate the decimal number for each fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator:
5/8 = 0.625
1/4 = 0.25
3/8 = 0.375
2/3 = 0.666...
6/7 = 0.857142857...
The fractions in ascending numerical order based on their decimal numbers are:
1/4, 3/8, 5/8, 2/3, 6/7
