$Compare the following fractions and complete the statement below: and is __________________than . - ProProfs$

Compare the following fractions and complete the statement below: and is __________________than .

Explanation
The fractions are being compared to each other. The word "less" indicates that the first fraction is smaller in value or magnitude compared to the second fraction. The word "smaller" also conveys the same meaning, indicating that the first fraction has a lesser value or is of a smaller magnitude than the second fraction.

$Order the following fractions from Least to Greatest: - ProProfs$

Order the following fractions from Least to Greatest:

Explanation
The fractions can be ordered by finding a common denominator and comparing the numerators. In this case, the common denominator is 18. After converting the fractions, we get 6/18, 9/18, 10/18, and 12/18. Comparing the numerators, we can see that 6/18 is the smallest, followed by 9/18, 10/18, and 12/18. Therefore, the fractions can be ordered as 1/3, 1/2, 5/9, and 4/6 from least to greatest.

$Order the fractions from GREATEST to LEAST: - ProProfs$

Order the fractions from GREATEST to LEAST:

Explanation
The fractions are ordered from greatest to least based on their numerical values. The fraction 7/2 is the largest because it represents a value greater than 3, while the fraction 2/3 is the next largest because it represents a value greater than 0.5. The fraction 3/8 is smaller than both of these fractions because it represents a value less than 0.5, and the fraction 1/4 is the smallest because it represents a value less than 0.5 as well. Therefore, the correct order from greatest to least is 7/2, 2/3, 3/8, 1/4.
