Identify the numeric order of these fractions and mixed numbers from smallest and largest : 1 3/6, 2 3/5, 7/9, 1 7/8

1 answer

To determine the order of the fractions and mixed numbers from smallest to largest, we need to convert everything to a common form. Let's convert all the numbers to improper fractions:

1 3/6 = 1 + 3/6 = 6/6 + 3/6 = 9/6
2 3/5 = 2 + 3/5 = 10/5 + 3/5 = 13/5
7/9 remains as 7/9
1 7/8 = 1 + 7/8 = 8/8 + 7/8 = 15/8

Now we will order the numbers from smallest to largest:

7/9, 9/6, 13/5, 15/8
