Order from least to greatest 1/4 1/3 1/6
1/4 = 3/12
1/3 = 4/12
1/6 = 2/12
Arrange the equivalent fractions in order.
1/4 1/3 1/6
To order the fractions from least to greatest, we can convert them to have a common denominator, which in this case is 12.
First, let's find the equivalent fractions:
1/4 = 3/12
1/3 = 4/12
1/6 = 2/12
Now we can order them from least to greatest:
2/12 < 3/12 < 4/12
Therefore, the order from least to greatest is:
1/6 < 1/4 < 1/3
To order fractions from least to greatest, you need to compare their sizes. One way to do this is to find a common denominator for all the fractions and then compare their numerators.
Step 1: Find a common denominator:
The least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 4, 3, and 6 is 12.
Step 2: Convert the fractions to have the common denominator 12:
1/4 = (1/4) × (3/3) = 3/12
1/3 = (1/3) × (4/4) = 4/12
1/6 = (1/6) × (2/2) = 2/12
Step 3: Compare the numerators to determine the order:
Now that all the fractions have the same denominator, we can compare their numerators.
2/12 < 3/12 < 4/12
Step 4: Convert back to the original fractions:
Since all the fractions have the same denominator, we can express them as 1/4, 1/3, and 4/12.
Therefore, the order from least to greatest is: 1/4, 1/3, 1/6.
