Answer to Question #98737 in Algebra for F

Question

Can you help me order fractions

Answer 1

We have two fractions: $2/3$ and $5/6$. We need to convert these fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator in order to compare them more easily: $2/3=x/6\to 2/3=2*2/3*2=4/6$. When comparing two fractions with the same denominators, the larger the numerator, the larger the fraction$\implies4/6<5/6$, in ascending order will be so: $4/6$; $5/6$, in decreasing order:$5/6$; $4/6$.
