Question

1/4 3/16 3/8 1/8 1/16 out of all of these how can i put theme in order from least to greatest

Answer 1

Answer: 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

You convert all the denominators to 16, which is the least common denominator that all of them go into. So you would then change 1/4 to 4/16, 3/8 to 6/16, 1/8 to 2/16, and leave 3/16 and 1/16. Then arrange them from least to greatest and reduce them back. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 3/8

Discussion:

It hard to compare apples to oranges so.... let write each fraction using the same denominator (a common denominator is 16)

1/4 = 4/16 (D)

3/16 = 3/16 (C)

3/8 = 6/16 (E)

1/8 = 2/16 (B)

1/16 = 1/16 (A)

The letters A,B,...E show the fractions in the order smallest to largest.

Thank you,

MrB
