Question

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

Answer 1

Ans.

7/12 , 2/3 , 5/6

Why:

If we give all the fractions the same denominator then the fractions are, 8/12 , 10/12 , 7/12. We then can easily see what is the order. Once ordered correctly, just simplifiy.

Answer 2

7/12 , 2/3 , 5/6

Explanation:

Firstly, give them a common denominator.

What do 3,6 and 12 all have in common? 12

So what we do to the bottom, we do to the top.

Multiply the 2/3 by 4 (3x4=12) to make 8/12.

Multiply the 5/6 by 2 (2x6=12) to make 10/12

7/12 already has 12 as the denominator.

Now order them.

7/12 , 8/12, 10/12.

Change them back to the original sums.

7/12 , 2/3 , 5/6
