I got no clue on how to solve this, please help? http://prntscr.com/afppwd

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Just turn the fractions into decimals

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I can't see it otherwise I would try to explain it, and help

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I did, but None of the choices make sense.. 1.)4/5 = 0.8 2.)7/9 = 0.7777 3.)6/7 = 8571

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

yes i see the one that does and 6/7 is 8.571 dont forget the decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rebeccaxhawaii 0.8571

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Oh. So it'd be A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ms-Brains Which decimal is smallest?

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

@Zelda oops yes 0.8571

MsBrains (ms-brains):

7/9 = 0.7777..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rebeccaxhawaii What? It's asking increasing order. Not decreasing. Okay @Ms-Brains What's next biggest?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

6/7 = 8571 then 4/5 = 0.8..right? @Zelda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ms-Brains 0.8571 is bigger than 0.8

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

yeah i need to reread what im writing lol sorry im rushing

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Oh, I get it now. The answer is C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\text{Sort}\left[\left\{\frac{4}{5},\frac{7}{9},\frac{6}{7}\right\}\right]\to \left\{\frac{7}{9},\frac{4}{5},\frac{6}{7}\right\}=\{0.777778,0.8,0.857143\} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 5 },\frac{ 7 }{ 9 }=\frac{ 36,35 }{ 45},~so~\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }>\frac{ 7 }{ 9 }\] \[\frac{ 4 }{ 5 },\frac{ 6 }{ 7 }=\frac{ 28,30 }{ 35 },so~\frac{ 6 }{ 7 }>\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\] combining \[\frac{ 6 }{ 7 }>\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }>\frac{ 7 }{ 9 }\] in increasing order \[\frac{ 7 }{ 9 }<\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }<\frac{ 6 }{ 7 }\]
