Step-by-step solution for: Ordering Fractions Worksheets - Math Monks
To solve the problem of ordering fractions from least to greatest, we need to compare the values of the fractions in each set. Here's a step-by-step explanation for each row:
---
#### Set 1: $\frac{5}{3}$, $\frac{4}{3}$, $\frac{2}{3}$
- All fractions have the same denominator (3). Compare the numerators:
- Numerators: $2 < 4 < 5$
- Therefore: $\frac{2}{3} < \frac{4}{3} < \frac{5}{3}$
#### Set 2: $\frac{3}{11}$, $\frac{3}{8}$, $\frac{3}{5}$
- All fractions have the same numerator (3). Compare the denominators:
- Denominators: $11 > 8 > 5$ (larger denominator means smaller fraction)
- Therefore: $\frac{3}{11} < \frac{3}{8} < \frac{3}{5}$
#### Set 3: $\frac{2}{7}$, $\frac{6}{7}$, $\frac{10}{7}$
- All fractions have the same denominator (7). Compare the numerators:
- Numerators: $2 < 6 < 10$
- Therefore: $\frac{2}{7} < \frac{6}{7} < \frac{10}{7}$
---
#### Set 1: $\frac{2}{5}$, $\frac{3}{7}$, $\frac{4}{9}$
- Different numerators and denominators. Find a common denominator or convert to decimals:
- $\frac{2}{5} = 0.4$
- $\frac{3}{7} \approx 0.4286$
- $\frac{4}{9} \approx 0.4444$
- Therefore: $\frac{2}{5} < \frac{3}{7} < \frac{4}{9}$
#### Set 2: $\frac{15}{2}$, $\frac{13}{2}$, $\frac{17}{2}$
- All fractions have the same denominator (2). Compare the numerators:
- Numerators: $13 < 15 < 17$
- Therefore: $\frac{13}{2} < \frac{15}{2} < \frac{17}{2}$
#### Set 3: $\frac{13}{3}$, $\frac{16}{3}$, $\frac{5}{3}$
- All fractions have the same denominator (3). Compare the numerators:
- Numerators: $5 < 13 < 16$
- Therefore: $\frac{5}{3} < \frac{13}{3} < \frac{16}{3}$
---
#### Set 1: $\frac{2}{19}$, $\frac{2}{17}$, $\frac{2}{13}$
- All fractions have the same numerator (2). Compare the denominators:
- Denominators: $19 > 17 > 13$ (larger denominator means smaller fraction)
- Therefore: $\frac{2}{19} < \frac{2}{17} < \frac{2}{13}$
#### Set 2: $2\frac{3}{5}$, $2\frac{1}{5}$, $3\frac{2}{5}$
- Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:
- $2\frac{3}{5} = \frac{13}{5}$
- $2\frac{1}{5} = \frac{11}{5}$
- $3\frac{2}{5} = \frac{17}{5}$
- All fractions have the same denominator (5). Compare the numerators:
- Numerators: $11 < 13 < 17$
- Therefore: $2\frac{1}{5} < 2\frac{3}{5} < 3\frac{2}{5}$
#### Set 3: $\frac{3}{8}$, $\frac{6}{8}$, $\frac{5}{8}$
- All fractions have the same denominator (8). Compare the numerators:
- Numerators: $3 < 5 < 6$
- Therefore: $\frac{3}{8} < \frac{5}{8} < \frac{6}{8}$
---
#### Set 1: $\frac{11}{14}$, $\frac{3}{14}$, $\frac{9}{14}$
- All fractions have the same denominator (14). Compare the numerators:
- Numerators: $3 < 9 < 11$
- Therefore: $\frac{3}{14} < \frac{9}{14} < \frac{11}{14}$
#### Set 2: $4\frac{1}{8}$, $5\frac{3}{8}$, $9\frac{5}{8}$
- The whole number parts are different. Compare them directly:
- Whole numbers: $4 < 5 < 9$
- Therefore: $4\frac{1}{8} < 5\frac{3}{8} < 9\frac{5}{8}$
#### Set 3: $7\frac{1}{6}$, $4\frac{5}{6}$, $2\frac{1}{6}$
- The whole number parts are different. Compare them directly:
- Whole numbers: $2 < 4 < 7$
- Therefore: $2\frac{1}{6} < 4\frac{5}{6} < 7\frac{1}{6}$
