Answer:
⅛ < ⅖ < ½ < ¾
Explanation:
First, rewrite the fractions so that they all have the same denominator.
The new denominator should be the lowest common multiple of the original denominators.
The L.C.M. of 2, 8, 4, and 5 is 40.
When multiplying the denominator to 40, make sure you multiply the numerator with the same value you use to multiply the denominator.
1/2 = 1x20 / 2 x 20 = 20/40
1/8 = 1x5 / 8x5 = 5/40
3/4 = 3x10 / 4x10 = 30/40
2/5 = 2x8 / 5x8 = 16/40
When all the denominators are the same, we can compare the numerator. The greater the numerator, the greater the fraction is.
Between 20, 5, 30, and 16, the smallest is 5, then 16, 20 and greatest is 30.
Since ascending order means listing them out from smallest to greatest, the order should be:
⅛ < ⅖ < ½ < ¾
