Question

Identify the ascending numerical order of these fractions: 3/10 , 3/8, 2/5 , 1/4 , 3/6 .

Answer 1

To compare the fractions and arrange them in ascending order, we can convert them to a common denominator or convert them to decimal form. Here are the fractions given:

1. \( \frac{3}{10} = 0.3 \)
2. \( \frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \)
3. \( \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \)
4. \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \)
5. \( \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 \)

Now, we will arrange the decimal values in ascending order:

- \( 0.25 \) (which is \( \frac{1}{4} \))
- \( 0.3 \) (which is \( \frac{3}{10} \))
- \( 0.375 \) (which is \( \frac{3}{8} \))
- \( 0.4 \) (which is \( \frac{2}{5} \))
- \( 0.5 \) (which is \( \frac{3}{6} \))

Putting it all together, the fractions in ascending numerical order are:

\[
\frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{6}
\]
