Answer: They are already in order from least to greatest
Explanation:
Using a calculator, find that
3/6 = 0.500
5/6 = 0.833 approximately
So we see that 3/6 is smaller than 5/6 just by comparing the decimal values 0.500 and 0.833
So this means 3/6 < 5/6
Proof of that without using a calculator:
3/6 < 5/6 ... original statement
3*6 < 6*5 ... cross multiply
18 < 30 ... simplify
The last inequality is true, so the first one is true. Both of these fractions are smaller than 1.
So the proper order is 3/6, 5/6, 1 which is the exact order in which the values are presented originally.
