Identify the numeric order of these fractions from smallest to largest: 3/6 , 1/6 , 5/6 , 2/6 .(1 point)

1 answer

To arrange the fractions \( \frac{3}{6} \), \( \frac{1}{6} \), \( \frac{5}{6} \), and \( \frac{2}{6} \) from smallest to largest, we can compare the numerators since they all have a common denominator of 6.

Here are the fractions with their equivalent values:

  • \( \frac{1}{6} = 1 \)
  • \( \frac{2}{6} = 2 \)
  • \( \frac{3}{6} = 3 \)
  • \( \frac{5}{6} = 5 \)

Now, we can list them in ascending order based on their numerators:

  1. \( \frac{1}{6} \)
  2. \( \frac{2}{6} \)
  3. \( \frac{3}{6} \)
  4. \( \frac{5}{6} \)

Thus, the order from smallest to largest is:

\(\frac{1}{6}, \frac{2}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{5}{6}\).
