Question

Here are 4 fractions labelled A,B,C,D. A is 3/4 B is 5/6 C=16/25 D=9/15 Using the label A,B,C,D, Write the fractions in order of size starting with the smallest fraction

Answer 1

Starting with the smallest, we will have; D , C, A, B

Explanation:

Given;

A = 3/4

B = 5/6

C = 16/25

D = 9/15

Convert the fractions to decimal, to determine their sizes;

A = 3/4 = 0.75

B = 5/6 = 0.833

C = 16/25 = 0.64

D = 9/15 = 0.6

From the decimal form of the fractions, it be observed that,

B > A > C > D

Starting with the smallest, we will have; D , C, A, B
