Question

Place the values in order from least to greatest 2 1/4 2 1/8 2 1/2 1 7/10 1 4/5

Answer 1

First, you will need to convert the fractions to their improper form:

`\begin{gathered} (9(80))/(4)=180 \\ (17(80))/(8)=170 \\ (5(80))/(2)=200 \\ (17(80))/(10)=136 \\ (9(80))/(5)=144 \end{gathered}`

Arranging these values from the least to the greatest, we have:

136, 144, 170, 180, and 200.

These values correspond to the fractions:

`1(7)/(10),\text{ 1}(4)/(5),2(1)/(8),2(1)/(4),\text{ and lastly 2}(1)/(2)\text{.}`
