Question

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

Answer 1

the least is 2/7 then 1/2 then 5/6 and the greatest is 4/2

Answer 2

Answer: Proper order form least to greatest is given by

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

Explanation:

Since we have given that

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

We need to write it in proper order from least to greatest.

For this we are required to take the L.C.M. of denominators:

1) L.C.M. of 2,6,7,2 = 42

2) Make the denominator 42:

`(1)/(2)* (21)/(21)=(1* 21)/(2* 21)=(21)/(42)\\\\(5)/(6)* (7)/(7)=(5* 7)/(6* 7)=(35)/(42)\\\\(2)/(7)* (6)/(6)=(2*6)/(7* 6)=(12)/(42)\\\\(4)/(2)* (21)/(21)=(4* 21)/(2* 21)=(48)/(42)`

From least to greatest :

`(12)/(42),(21)/(42),(35)/(42),(48)/(42)\\\\(2)/(7),(1)/(2),(5)/(6),(4)/(2)`
