Question

From least to greatest -9, 12/20, 1/5

Answer 1

-9, 1/5 12/20

Explanation:

Use 0 as a border.

All numbers less than 0 on one side the rest on the other.

You will have -9 on less than zero and 1/5, 12/20 on the other side.

So -9 is the least.

Now you have 1/5, and 12/20.

Make the denominators equal.

1/5 x 4/4= 4/20, 12/20 x 1/1 = 12/20

Compare the Numerators.

4 is less than 12.

So the answer is -9, 1/5, 12/20.

Answer 2

-9, 1/5, 12/20

Explanation:

-9 is negative so it will always be the least. It helps to turn the fractions into decimals. To do this, you can just divide 1 by 5 and 12 by 20.

1/5 = .2

12/20 = .6

So, 1/5 is less than 12/20.

This makes the order -9, 1/5, 12/20.
