Question

5.5,6 1/6,15/4,4 3/8,4.3

Answer 1

Express all numbers as fractions:

11/2, 37/6, 15/4, 35/8, 43/10.

Now the LCD: 120

Convert fractions:

660/120, 740/120, 450/120, 525/120, 516/120. The denominators are the same, so we just put the numerators in order: 740, 660, 525, 516, 450.

So the order is: 6 1/6, 5.5, 4 3/8, 4.3, 15/4.

4.3, 5.5, 6.16, 3.75, 4.375, 5.5, 4.3 order least to greatest
