Ordering Fractions

Let's order these fractions from least to greatest:

1
5
,
4
5
,
2
5

 

Notice that the fractions have same denominators.

 

We know that if the denominators of fractions are same, the fraction with larger numerator is greater.

 

So, compare the numerators 1, 4, and 2.

 

Since 1 < 2 < 4,

 

1
5
<
2
5
<
4

So, the given fractions can be ordered from least to greatest as:

 

1
