Topics → Definition Example1

Arrange the following fractions in ascending order:

\$8/3, (15)/6, (18)/6, 2/4,4/(10)\$

Step: 1

We can compare the decimal values of the fractions:

\$ 8/3 = 2.666 \$

\$(15)/6 = 2.5 \$

\$ (18)/6 = 3 \$

\$ 2/4 = 0.5 \$

\$ 4/(10) = 0.4 \$

The ascending order of the decimal values is 0.4,0.5,2.5,2.666,3.

Explanation:

Here, we discuss the fractions in decimal values arranged in ascending order: 0.4,0.5,2.5,2.666,3.

Step: 2

Therefore, the fractions in ascending order are \$4/(10), 2/4, (15)/6, 8/3, (18)/6\$.

Explanation:

Here, we write in ascending order of the fractional numbers.
