Question

6. Use common denominators for these fractions. Arrange them from smallest to largest.

Answer 1

Given the fractions:

`(9)/(16),(3)/(8),(1)/(4),(5)/(8)`

We will arrange them from the smallest to the greatest using the common denominators

So, the common denominator for the fractions will be = 16

`\begin{gathered} (9)/(16)=(9)/(16) \\ \\ (3)/(8)=(2\cdot3)/(2\cdot8)=(6)/(16) \\ \\ (1)/(4)=(4\cdot1)/(4\cdot4)=(4)/(16) \\ \\ (5)/(8)=(2\cdot5)/(2\cdot8)=(10)/(16) \end{gathered}`

So, the answer will be the arrange will be:

`\begin{gathered} (4)/(16),(6)/(16),(9)/(16),(10)/(16) \\ \\ (1)/(4),(3)/(8),(9)/(16),(5)/(8) \end{gathered}`
