Question

Put the improper fraction in order from least to greatest

Answer 1

We have to sort the fractions.

To compare them, the easiest way is to have the same denominator. Likewise, if we express the fraction as decimals we are comparing them with the same denominator (in that case, a denominator of 1).

Then, we express the fractions as decimals:

`\begin{gathered} (25)/(3)=8.33\ldots \\ (15)/(2)=7.5 \\ (36)/(16)=2.25 \\ (32)/(6)=5.33\ldots \\ (48)/(13)\approx3.69 \end{gathered}`

Then, if we have to order from least to greatest, we get:

36/16, 48/13, 32/6, 15/2, 25/3.
