Final answer:

To arrange the fractions 3/4, 1/8, 9/16, 1 1/4, and 3/8 from smallest to largest, convert them to decimals which are 0.75, 0.125, 0.5625, 1.25, and 0.375 respectively. The ordered sequence from smallest to largest is 1/8, 3/8, 9/16, 3/4, and 1 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange the fractions 3/4, 1/8, 9/16, 1 1/4, and 3/8 from smallest to largest, we need to understand their size relative to each other. A helpful approach is to convert all the numbers to have a common denominator or to convert them to decimals. In this instance, since we have a mixed number (1 1/4), it might be easiest to convert everything to decimals for comparison.

  • 1/8 converts to 0.125
  • 3/8 converts to 0.375
  • 3/4 converts to 0.75
  • 9/16 converts to 0.5625
  • 1 1/4 converts to 1.25 (since 1 + 1/4 is equivalent to 1 + 0.25)

Now, we can easily compare the decimals to see which is smallest and which is largest:

  1. 1/8 (0.125)
  2. 3/8 (0.375)
  3. 9/16 (0.5625)
  4. 3/4 (0.75)
  5. 1 1/4 (1.25)

This gives the fractions in order from smallest to largest: 1/8, 3/8, 9/16, 3/4, and 1 1/4.

Answer:

1/8, 3/8, 9/16, 3/4, 11/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that ll/4 is the biggest (obviously) and the lcm (least common denominator) is 48. We all turn the denominator into 48 and muliply to the numerator and the anwer is listed above.

Hope it helps!
