Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

1/3, 0.5, 4/6, 4/5

Explanation:

For the same numerator, the fraction with the larger denominator is the smaller fraction.

0.5 = 1/2

So, we have two fractions with numerators of 1, and two fractions with numerators of 4. The smaller fraction with a numerator of 4 has a numerator that is more than half the denominator, so its value is more than 1/2.

The least-to-greatest order is ...

1/3, 1/2, 4/6, 4/5

In the original number format, this is ...

1/3, 0.5, 4/6, 4/5
