Question

Select the proper order from least to greatest for 1⁄2 , 5⁄6 , 2⁄7 , 4⁄2 .

Answer 1

1/2 = 0.50
5/6 = 0.83
2/7 = 0.285
4/2 = 2

least to greatest : 2/7, 1/2, 5/6. 4/2

** I find it easier to put it in decimal form then to try and find common denominators and mess with fractions :)

Answer 2

`(2)/(7) ,(1)/(2), (5)/(6), (4)/(2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

`(1)/(2) =0.5\\\\(5)/(6) =.83\\\\(2)/(7) =.28\\\\(4)/(2) =2`

we can clearly see that .28 is less than 0.5 which is less than .83 which is less than 2

Therefore, .28 is the lesser number among all the numbers and 2 is the greatest number.

Hence,
`(2)/(7) ,(1)/(2), (5)/(6), (4)/(2)` is the correct order from least to greater number.
