Math Problem Statement

Write these fractions and decimals in order from smallest to largest: 1) 7/10, 1/4, 1/5, 2/5, 1/8, 3/10 2) 0.241, 0.375, 0.85, 0.3, 0.5, 0.35, 0.24

Solution

Let's go through each part of the question to arrange the fractions and decimals from smallest to largest.

Part 1: Fractions

We are given the following fractions: 710,14,15,25,18,310\frac{7}{10}, \quad \frac{1}{4}, \quad \frac{1}{5}, \quad \frac{2}{5}, \quad \frac{1}{8}, \quad \frac{3}{10}

To compare these, let's convert them to decimals:

  • 710=0.7\frac{7}{10} = 0.7
  • 14=0.25\frac{1}{4} = 0.25
  • 15=0.2\frac{1}{5} = 0.2
  • 25=0.4\frac{2}{5} = 0.4
  • 18=0.125\frac{1}{8} = 0.125
  • 310=0.3\frac{3}{10} = 0.3

Now, ordering these decimals from smallest to largest: 0.125,0.2,0.25,0.3,0.4,0.70.125, \quad 0.2, \quad 0.25, \quad 0.3, \quad 0.4, \quad 0.7

Therefore, the fractions in order from smallest to largest are: 18,15,14,310,25,710\frac{1}{8}, \quad \frac{1}{5}, \quad \frac{1}{4}, \quad \frac{3}{10}, \quad \frac{2}{5}, \quad \frac{7}{10}

Part 2: Decimals

We are given the following decimals: 0.241,0.375,0.85,0.3,0.5,0.35,0.240.241, \quad 0.375, \quad 0.85, \quad 0.3, \quad 0.5, \quad 0.35, \quad 0.24

Arranging these from smallest to largest: 0.24,0.241,0.3,0.35,0.375,0.5,0.850.24, \quad 0.241, \quad 0.3, \quad 0.35, \quad 0.375, \quad 0.5, \quad 0.85

Final Answer

  1. Fractions from smallest to largest: 18,15,14,310,25,710\frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{7}{10}

  2. Decimals from smallest to largest: 0.24,0.241,0.3,0.35,0.375,0.5,0.850.24, 0.241, 0.3, 0.35, 0.375, 0.5, 0.85
