Answer:
option 1 (the basic)
Convert it into a common factor.
So everything in the denominator has to have a common multiple then we can compare from there.
You can either find every multiple here and then see which ones the same or multiply them all (not recommended)
so 120 is the common factor here.
I got this because I know 10 and 5 are basically the same. Since they almost all end with 0s. I know it has to be a number that ends with 0.
8 here is the one I calculated.
My process:
8*5 = 40
40 doesnt go to 3
8*10 = 80
80 doesn’t go to 3
8*15 = 120
120 goes to 3 (Becuase if you add up the numbers 1 + 2 + 0, you’d get 3 which is divisible by 3)
So 120 is the denominator.
Now we divide each to find the numerator now.
120/5 = 24
So we multiplieds 24 by 5 to get 120.
Thats the bottom, whatever we do on the bottom we do to the top.
So 4 * 24 is 96
96/120
Now lets fast forward
In the end you’d end up with in the order we began with
96/120 …(4/5)
108/ 120 …(9/10)
40/120 …(1/3)
105/120 …(7/8)
Now we put them in order from least to greatest in this case.
40/120 …(1/3)
96/120 …(4/5)
105/120 …(7/8)
108/120 …(9/10)
Your order would be
1/3
4/5
7/8
9/10
Option 2 (the decimal)
SO in this case you jsut convert them into a decimal then compare
This is relatively easier since its jsut basic division with decimal.
You do numerator divide by denominator.
4 ÷ 5 = 0.8
9 ÷ 10 = 0.9
1 ÷ 3 = 0.3333333…
7 ÷ 8 = 0.875
Now you just put them in order
0.2, 0.333…, 0.875, 0.9
Same order as before
1/3, 4/5, 7/8, 9/10
