Order from least to greatest: 1/3, 1/6, 1/4. Is it 1/3. 1/4, 1/6?
No, you have them turned around.
If you find the common denominator, it's easier.
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
1/6 = 2/12
To order the fractions from least to greatest, we need to compare the values of the fractions. One way to do this is to find a common denominator for the fractions.
The denominators of the given fractions are 3, 6, and 4. The least common multiple (LCM) of these three numbers is 12.
To convert the fractions to have a common denominator of 12, we need to adjust their numerators accordingly:
1/3 is equivalent to (1/3) * (4/4) = 4/12
1/6 is already in the form of 1/6
1/4 is equivalent to (1/4) * (3/3) = 3/12
Now, we can compare the numerators of the fractions:
1/6 < 3/12 < 4/12
So, the correct order from least to greatest is 1/6, 3/12, 4/12.
Therefore, your original intuition was correct, and the correct order is 1/6, 3/12, 4/12.
