Arrange the following in ascending order
$ \frac{5}{8}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{1}{2} $
Given :
The given fractions are $ \frac{5}{8}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{1}{2} $
To do :
We have to arrange the given fractions in ascending order.
Solution :
To arrange the given fractions $ \frac{5}{8}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{1}{2} $ in ascending order first we need to convert them to like fractions.
β
βTo convert them to like fractions we need to find the LCM of the denominators.
β
$β8 = 2\times2\times2$
β$6 = 2\times3$
β
βLCM of $8,6,2 = 2\times2\times2\times3 = 24$.
β
βTherefore,
$\frac{β5}{8} =\frac{β5\times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{15}{24}$
$\frac{5}{6}= \frac{5\times4}{6\times 4} = \frac{20}{24}$
$\frac{β1}{2} = \frac{β1 \times 12}{2 \times 12} = \frac{12}{24}$
β
βOn comparing the numerators,
β$12<15<20$
β
βTherefore, $\frac{12}{24} < \frac{15}{24} < \frac{20}{24}$
$\frac{β1}{2} < \frac{β5}{8} <\frac{5}{6}$.
β
βThe ascending order of the given fractions is $\frac{β1}{2} , \frac{β5}{8} , \frac{5}{6}$.
