Understanding Fraction Ordering

The video tutorial explains an alternative method to order fractions from least to greatest by subtracting each fraction from one and comparing the resulting differences. The largest difference indicates the smallest fraction, while the smallest difference indicates the largest fraction. This method is applied to fractions less than one, demonstrating that 7/8 is less than 8/9, which is less than 9/10.

What is the alternative method to order fractions from least to greatest?

• Add the fractions to one and compare the sums

• Divide the fractions by one and compare the quotients

• Subtract the fractions from one and compare the differences

• Multiply the fractions by one and compare the products

What is the difference when 7/8 is subtracted from one?

• 1/10

• 1/2

• 1/8

• 1/4

Which fraction has the smallest difference when subtracted from one?

• 1/2

• 7/8

• 9/10

• 8/9

Which fraction is the least among 7/8, 8/9, and 9/10?

• 9/10

• 8/9

• 7/8

• 1/2

What is the correct order of the fractions from least to greatest?

• 9/10, 8/9, 7/8

• 7/8, 8/9, 9/10

• 7/8, 9/10, 8/9

• 8/9, 7/8, 9/10
