1 answer

To calculate the decimal numbers for each fraction, we divide the numerator by the denominator.

  1. \( \frac{5}{8} = 0.625 \)
  2. \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
  3. \( \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \)
  4. \( \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.667 \)
  5. \( \frac{6}{7} \approx 0.857 \)

Now we have the following decimal values:

  • \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
  • \( \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \)
  • \( \frac{5}{8} = 0.625 \)
  • \( \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.667 \)
  • \( \frac{6}{7} \approx 0.857 \)

Now we can arrange them in ascending order:

  1. \( 0.25 \) (from \( \frac{1}{4} \))
  2. \( 0.375 \) (from \( \frac{3}{8} \))
  3. \( 0.625 \) (from \( \frac{5}{8} \))
  4. \( 0.667 \) (from \( \frac{2}{3} \))
  5. \( 0.857 \) (from \( \frac{6}{7} \))

Thus, the ascending order of the decimal numbers is:

0.25, 0.375, 0.625, 0.667, 0.857
