Question

Put the tions in order from lowest to highest (ascending order):

(a) 1/3
(b) 1/2
(c) 3/8
(d) 2/5
(e) 3/4

Answer 1

To put the fractions in ascending order, compare them by finding a common denominator. The correct order from lowest to highest is 1/3, 3/8, 2/5, 1/2, 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To put the fractions in ascending order, we can compare them by finding a common denominator. The common denominator for these fractions is 24.

Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 24, we get (a) = 8/24, (b) = 12/24, (c) = 9/24, (d) = 10/24, and (e) = 18/24.

Now, we can arrange the fractions in ascending order: (a), (c), (d), (b), (e). So, the correct order from lowest to highest is (a) 1/3, (c) 3/8, (d) 2/5, (b) 1/2, (e) 3/4.
