i'm having trouble with converting fractions to decimals, and determing leaqst to greatest and vice versa. I have a problem that ask to order ther fractions and decimals from greatest to least: 0.75, 7/10, 1/7 ?
Order then by converting all to decimals.
7/10 is 0.700 and 1/7 = 0.1427..
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
7/10 = 0.70
1/7 = 0.14
Now think of these as money. 0.75 = 75 cents.
If you post your answer, we'll be glad to check it for you.
order these fraction from least to greatest 3/4,-2/3,7/10,-5/6
To order fractions and decimals from greatest to least, you can follow these steps:
1. Convert the given fractions to decimals.
2. Compare the decimals and the given decimals.
3. Arrange them in descending order.
Let's start with your example:
Step 1: Converting fractions to decimals
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).
Converting 7/10 to a decimal:
Divide 7 by 10: 7 ÷ 10 = 0.7
Converting 1/7 to a decimal:
Divide 1 by 7: 1 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.142857 (rounded to six decimal places)
Step 2: Comparing the decimals
Now that we have the decimals, compare them with the given decimal, 0.75.
0.7 < 0.75 < 0.142857
Step 3: Arranging in descending order
Arrange the fractions and decimals in descending order:
0.75, 7/10, 1/7
Therefore, the order from greatest to least is: 0.75, 7/10, 1/7.
Remember to convert the fractions to decimals first and then compare them.
