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 by the denominator.
For 5/8:
5 ÷ 8 = 0.625
For 1/4:
1 ÷ 4 = 0.25
For 3/8:
3 ÷ 8 = 0.375
For 2/3:
2 ÷ 3 = 0.666...
For 6/7:
6 ÷ 7 = 0.8571428571428571
Now, let's identify the ascending numerical order of these decimal numbers:
0.25, 0.375, 0.625, 0.666..., 0.8571428571428571
