Can you tell me what, (in greatest to least) the order is... 1/2, 4/5, 5/6, 2/3 7/8, and 1/4. this will be greatly appreciated.Thx.

Answer 1

Yes, I could tell you, but I won't.

Change the fractions into decimals. Then you'll be able to arrange them in order.

Answer 2

well the really easy way is to convert to decimals but we should do it the hard way I suppose

for LCD we need three twos for 8 and a three and a five
so
8 * 3 * 5 = 120 , ah well

1/2 = 60/120
4/5 = 96/120
5/6 = 100/120
2/3 = 80/120
7/8 = 105/120
1/4 = 30/120

Now you can do it :)

Answer 3

LOL - I am really not paying attention and missed the pattern

note that except for 1/4, the numerator is always one less than the denominator
therefore 1 - the fraction keeps getting lees and the fraction gets bigger as the numerator and denominator get bigger
I mean obviously 7/8 is bigger than 1/2 :)
