Respuesta :

Greatest to Smallest

in 3/9, 3/10, 3/11, 3/12 ,

the numerator is a constant 3 while the denominators increase by 1.

That causes the values of the fractions to become smaller as the denominator increases.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{12}, \frac{3}{11}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{3}{9}[/tex] in ascending order.

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange fractions from the least to the greatest, that is, in ascending order, there are two approaches. The first is to convert each fraction to a decimal number.

Given the fractions below

[tex]\frac{3}{9} , \frac{3}{10}, \frac{3}{11}, \frac{3}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{9} =0.33\\\frac{3}{10}=0.3\\ \frac{3}{11}=0.27\\ \frac{3}{12}=0.25[/tex]

Arranged in ascending order, we have:

0.25, 0.27, 0.3, 0.33 which translates to:

[tex]\frac{3}{12}, \frac{3}{11}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{3}{9}[/tex] in ascending order.

Another approach

Since the numerators are the same, the higher the denominator, the lower the number.
