Question

Order 1/2, 1/3 and 5/6 from least to greatest?
​

Answer 1

.........1/3, 1/2, 5/6

Answer 2

Let us first change these fractions into each other's equivalent fractions , so that we can order them from the smallest to the largest .

`(i) \: (1)/(2) = ((1 * 3))/(6)`

`\implies \color{olive} (1)/(2) = \color{hotpink} (3)/(6)`

`(ii) \: (1)/(3) = ((1 * 2))/(6)`

`\implies\color{olive} (1)/(3) = \color{hotpink} (2)/(6)`

`(iii) \: (5)/(6) = ((5 * 1))/(6)`

`\implies\color{olive} (5)/(6) = \color{hotpink} (5)/(6)`

Therefore, the fractions arranged in order from the least to the greatest :-
