MEDAL MEDAL MEDAL MEDAL MEDAL MEDAL MEDAL!!!!!!!! Arrange these numbers from least to greatest: -5/8,-7/9,-4/5,-3/7
explanation please! :)
find the common denominator
-7/9? I'm not sure!
the least common denominator is the lowest number the denominators can all be multiplied into. in this case the least common denominator is 2520
if you rewrite your numbers with the common denominator of 2520 it would look like this -1575/2520, -1960/2520, -2016/2520, -1080/2520
this question is trying to trick you by making you label them from least to greatest
ohhh okay! I think I'm starting to understand
just to help out a little more: -1575/2520 = -5/8 -1960/2520 = -7/9 -2016/2520 = -4/5 -1080/2520 = -3/7
can you order them least to greatest?
I think -3/7, -4/5,-5/8, -7/9 but I'm not positive
these numbers are negative so which number is furthest away from 0?
-4/5?
yes so that is the your lowest, you are labeling them from least to greatest. which comes next?
-7/9,-5/8,-3/7
bingo
well done
thanks!
