Title: Desending fraction order

Grade: 4-a Lesson: S1-L7

Explanation: The best way to understand measurement is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding.

Examples:

Arrange the following fractions in descending order \$3/5 , 13/19, 10/17, 2/9\$.

Step 1a

We can compare the decimal values of the fractions:

\$3/5 = 0.6\$

\$13/19 = 0.684 \$

\$ 10/17 = 0.588 \$

\$ 2/9 = 0.222 \$

The descending order of the decimal values is 0.684, 0.6, 0.588, 0.222.

Explanation: Here, we discuss the fractions in decimal values arranged in descending order: 0.684, 0.6 ,0.588 ,0.222.

Step 1b

Therefore, the fractions in descending order are \$13/19, 3/5, 10/17, 2/9\$.

Explanation: Here, we write in descending order of the fractional numbers are \$13/19, 3/5, 10/17, 2/9\$.
