Question

Order the fractions from least to greatest, 2/3, 2/9, 5/6, 11/18.

Answer 1

I find it easier to put them in decimal form then to try and find a common denominator

2/3 = 0.666
2/9 = 0.222
5/6 = 0.833
11/18 = 0.611

least to greatest = 2/9, 11/18, 2/3, 5/6

Answer 2

-Order From Least To Greatest-

2/9  <  11/18  <  2/3  <  5/6

First, find the least common denominator. In this case, our least common denominator is 18 so we are going to rewrite our fractions with the lowest common denominator.

-Order From Least To Greatest Using Lowest Common Denominator-

4/18 < 11/18 < 12/18 < 15/18

We can now rewrite this using our original fractions and they are in order from least to greatest.

2/9  <  11/18  <  2/3  <  5/6
