Question

Arrange these fractions in order, smallest first.

2/3, 7/9, 5/6, 11/18

Answer 1

`(11)/(18),(2)/(3),(7)/(9),(5)/(6)`

Explanation:

18 is the common multiple of all the denominator, so:

`(2)/(3)=(12)/(18) \\\\(7)/(9)=(14)/(18) \\\\(5)/(6)=(15)/(18) \\\\(11)/(18)`

Now that they have a common denominator, we can order them just by looking at the numerator.

`(11)/(18),(2)/(3),(7)/(9),(5)/(6)`
