Arrange the following numbers from smallest to largest:
\[ \frac{2}{3}, \ 0.5, \ \frac{3}{5}, \ 0.65 \]
Answer (3)
we have to find LCD (lowest common denominator) in this case it will be 60 i think 0.5 = 2 1 = 60 30 0.65 = 100 65 = 20 13 = 60 39 3 2 = 60 40 5 3 = 60 36
now it should be easy
\frac{39}{60}>\frac{36}{60}>\frac{30}{60}"> 60 40 > 60 39 > 60 36 > 60 30
so:
0.65>\frac{3}{5}>0.5"> 3 2 > 0.65 > 5 3 > 0.5
0.5, 3/5, 0.65, 2/3 Hope this helps
The numbers arranged from smallest to largest are: 0.5 , 5 3 , 0.65 , 3 2 .
