Question

order 1/2, 1/3 and 5/6 from least to greatest?
​

Answer 1

.........1/3, 1/2, 5/6

Answer 2

Let us first change these fractions into each other's equivalent fractions , so that we can order them from the smallest to the largest .

$(i) \: \frac{1}{2} = \frac{(1 \times 3)}{6}$

$\implies \color{olive} \frac{1}{2} = \color{hotpink} \frac{3}{6}$

$(ii) \: \frac{1}{3} = \frac{(1 \times 2)}{6}$

$\implies\color{olive} \frac{1}{3} = \color{hotpink} \frac{2}{6}$

$(iii) \: \frac{5}{6} = \frac{(5 \times 1)}{6}$

$\implies\color{olive} \frac{5}{6} = \color{hotpink} \frac{5}{6}$

Therefore, the fractions arranged in order from the least to the greatest :-

$\bold\color{hotpink} { \color{olive} = \color{hotpink} \frac{1}{3}

,

\color{olive} \frac{1}{2}

,

\color{hotpink} \frac{5}{6} }$
