Question

Which lists the fractions 2/3 , 5/6, 7/12 from least to greatest

Answer 1

Convert each fraction so that the denominators are the same number:

2 x 4 = 8
— = —
3 x 4 = 12


5 x 2 = 10
— = —
6 x 2 = 12


7 < 8 < 10


So the fractions from least to greatest are
1. 7/12
2. 8/12 (or 2/3)
3. 10/12 (or 5/6)
