Question

List the following in ascending order:
= 3/8 = 5/6 = 2/9 = 7/11

Answer 1

The easiest and shortest way to find the correct ascending order for these fractions is to find their decimal values.

We do this by simply dividing each fraction until we get a decimal:

3/8 = 0.375 - 5/6 = 0.833 - 2/9 = 0.222 - 7/11 = 0.636

So therefore the correct order is listed as follows:

2/9 first, 3/8 second, 7/11 third, 5/6 last.
