Question

Match each point with one of the following fractions 5/6, 7/12, 1/8, 5/16

A=5/6 B= 5/16 C= 7/12 D= 1/8

A= 1/8 B= 5/16 C= 7/12 D= 5/6

A= 7/12 B= 5/6 C = 5/16 D = 1/8

A= 5/16 B= 1/8 C = 7/12 D= 5/6

Answer 1

What you need to do is make each fraction into a decimal and then put them in order from least to greatest.

7/12=0.583

1/8= 0.125

5/16= 0.3125

5/6= 0.83

The order for this is 0.3125, 0.125, 0.583, and 0.83. So the answer is last option

Answer 2

The correct option is A= 1/8 B= 5/16 C= 7/12 D= 5/6

Explanation:

Consider the provided fractions.

First convert each fraction into decimal form as shown:

5/6 = 0.833..

7/12 = 0.5833..

1/8 = 0.125

5/16 = 0.3125

The largest number among them is 0.833.. i.e 5/6 and the smallest number among them is 0.125 i.e 1/8

Arrange them in increasing order as shown:

0.125, 0.3125, 0.5833.., 0.833.. or 1/8, 5/16, 7/12, 5/6

Now consider the provided figure. The alphabets are showing the number are in increasing order

Thus, the correct option is A= 1/8 B= 5/16 C= 7/12 D= 5/6
