What are The fraction from least to greatest. 1/4, 0.7, 3/5
3/5 1/4 0.7
Wrong, it’s 1/4 3/5 0.7
1/4 3/5 0.7
To order fractions from least to greatest, you need to convert any decimals to fractions and find a common denominator. Let's work through the fractions you provided step by step:
1/4: This fraction is already in simplest form.
0.7: To convert the decimal 0.7 to a fraction, you can write it as 7/10. The numerator is derived from the decimal value (7), and the denominator is determined by the place value (10th).
3/5: This fraction is already in simplest form.
Now that we have all fractions, let's find a common denominator:
The denominators in the fractions are 4, 10, and 5. The least common multiple (LCM) of these three numbers is 20.
Now, let's convert each fraction to have a denominator of 20:
1/4: Multiply the numerator and denominator by 5, resulting in 5/20.
0.7 (7/10): Multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 14/20.
3/5: Multiply the numerator and denominator by 4, which gives us 12/20.
Now, you can order the fractions from least to greatest:
5/20, 14/20, 12/20
Simplifying these fractions by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor:
5/20 simplifies to 1/4,
14/20 simplifies to 7/10,
12/20 simplifies to 3/5.
Therefore, the fractions from least to greatest are 1/4, 7/10, 3/5.
