Identify the numeric order of these fractions and mixed numbers from largest to smallest 1 1/2 1/4 1 3/4 5/6

To compare the fractions and mixed numbers, we can convert them to improper fractions or decimals for easier comparison. Here are the conversions:

  1. \( 1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \)
  2. \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
  3. \( 1 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75 \)
  4. \( \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.8333 \)

Now we can list these values in decimal form:

  • \( 1 \frac{1}{2} = 1.5 \)
  • \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
  • \( 1 \frac{3}{4} = 1.75 \)
  • \( \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.8333 \)

Now we can order them from largest to smallest:

  1. \( 1 \frac{3}{4} \) (or \( \frac{7}{4} \))
  2. \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \) (or \( \frac{3}{2} \))
  3. \( \frac{5}{6} \)
  4. \( \frac{1}{4} \)

So, the order from largest to smallest is:

  1. \( 1 \frac{3}{4} \)
  2. \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \)
  3. \( \frac{5}{6} \)
  4. \( \frac{1}{4} \)
All corect

Great! I'm glad the order is correct. If you have any other questions about fractions, mixed numbers, or anything else, feel free to ask!
