To compare the fractions and arrange them in ascending numerical order, we can convert them to a common denominator or convert them to decimal form. Let's convert them to decimal form:
- \( \frac{3}{10} = 0.3 \)
- \( \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \)
- \( \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \) (since \( \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{10} = 0.4 \))
- \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \) (since \( \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2.5}{10} = 0.25 \))
- \( \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 \) (since \( \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \))
Now, arranging these decimal values in ascending order:
- \( 0.25 \) (which corresponds to \( \frac{1}{4} \))
- \( 0.3 \) (which corresponds to \( \frac{3}{10} \))
- \( 0.375 \) (which corresponds to \( \frac{3}{8} \))
- \( 0.4 \) (which corresponds to \( \frac{2}{5} \))
- \( 0.5 \) (which corresponds to \( \frac{3}{6} \))
Thus, the fractions in ascending order are:
\( \frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{6} \)
