Place the following fraction in order from least value to greatest value 3/4,5/16,7/12,1/3

Answer 1

Least common multiple of denominators 4, 16, 12 and 3 is 48.

Write the fractions so that their denominator is 48.

3 / 4 = 3 ∙ 12 / 4 ∙ 12 = 36 / 48

5 / 16 = 5 ∙ 3 / 16 ∙ 3 = 15 / 48

7 / 12 = 7 ∙ 4 / 12 ∙ 4 = 28 / 48

1 / 3 = 1 ∙ 16 / 3 ∙ 16 = 16 / 48

Order from least value to greatest value:

15 / 48 , 16 / 48 , 28 / 48 , 36 / 48

5 / 6 , 1 / 3 , 7 / 12 , 3 / 4
