Question

What numbers are least to greatest 1/2,1/4,1 and3/4, 1.5, 1.75

Answer 1

One way to solve the exercise is to view the fractions in decimal form and then order the numbers from least to greatest. So, you have

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)=0.5 \\ (1)/(4)=0.25 \\ 1(3)/(4)=(1\cdot4+3)/(4)=(4+3)/(4)=(7)/(4)=1.75 \\ 1.5=1.5 \\ 1.75=1.75 \end{gathered}`

Now, to order the decimal numbers, first compare their whole part, then the tenths, and then the hundredths. So you have

`\begin{gathered} 0.25 \\ 0.5 \\ 0.75 \\ 1.7 \\ 1.75 \\ 1.75 \end{gathered}`

Therefore,
