To compare the fractions and put them in ascending numerical order, we can convert them to have a common denominator or convert them to decimal form. Here are the fractions given:
- \( \frac{3}{10} \)
- \( \frac{3}{8} \)
- \( \frac{2}{5} \)
- \( \frac{1}{4} \)
- \( \frac{3}{6} \)
Let's convert each fraction to decimal form:
- \( \frac{3}{10} = 0.3 \)
- \( \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \)
- \( \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \)
- \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
- \( \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 \)
Now, we can arrange the decimal values in ascending order:
- \( 0.25 ( \frac{1}{4} ) \)
- \( 0.3 ( \frac{3}{10} ) \)
- \( 0.375 ( \frac{3}{8} ) \)
- \( 0.4 ( \frac{2}{5} ) \)
- \( 0.5 ( \frac{3}{6} ) \)
Thus, the fractions in ascending order are:
\[ \frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{6} \]
