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

Answer 1

To order the fractions from smallest to largest, we can first convert them to their simplest forms:

• \( \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \)
• \( \frac{1}{6} \) (already in simplest form)
• \( \frac{5}{6} \) (already in simplest form)
• \( \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \)

Now let's list them:

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

Now, putting these in order from smallest to largest, we get:

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

Therefore, the fractions in order from smallest to largest are:

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

Which corresponds to:

\[ 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 5/6 \]
