Question

Arrange these fractions from greatest to least
13/50, 9/10, 1/24, 5,36

Answer 1

To arrange the fractions \( \frac{13}{50} \), \( \frac{9}{10} \), \( \frac{1}{24} \), and \( \frac{5}{36} \) from greatest to least, first, we need to convert them to a common denominator or to decimal form for easier comparison.

1. **Convert to decimal:**
- \( \frac{13}{50} = 0.26 \)
- \( \frac{9}{10} = 0.9 \)
- \( \frac{1}{24} \approx 0.0417 \)
- \( \frac{5}{36} \approx 0.1389 \)

2. **Now, let’s compare the decimal values:**
- \( 0.9 \) (from \( \frac{9}{10} \))
- \( 0.26 \) (from \( \frac{13}{50} \))
- \( 0.1389 \) (from \( \frac{5}{36} \))
- \( 0.0417 \) (from \( \frac{1}{24} \))

3. **Arranging them from greatest to least:**
- \( \frac{9}{10} \) (0.9)
- \( \frac{13}{50} \) (0.26)
- \( \frac{5}{36} \) (0.1389)
- \( \frac{1}{24} \) (0.0417)

Therefore, the order from greatest to least is:
\[
\frac{9}{10}, \frac{13}{50}, \frac{5}{36}, \frac{1}{24}
\]
