Asked by Jazmin

order the fractions from greates to least. 1/6, 2/7, 1/5.
Can anyone help and explain this to me please
Answered by Kyle
if you find the decimal value for each of these you will be able to easily tell the order.

for example: the decimal value for the fraction 3/4 is .75

hope this helps!

well you have to make the fractions have the same denominator so the easiest would probably be to multiply 1/6 by 5/5 to give you 5/30 and then multiply 1/5 by 6/6 to give you 6/30 so you know 1/5 is bigger than 1/6 then you could multiply 2/7 by 5/5 to give you 10/35 and then multiply 1/5 by 7/7 to give you 7/35 so you know 2/7 is bigger than 1/5. so in order from greatest to least it would be 2/7, 1/5, 1/6

how would i convert to decimal?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Convert to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

Example:
1/6 = 0.166666

2/7 = 60/210

1/5 = 42/210

1/6 = 35/210

ORDER: 2/7, 1/5, and 1/6.
