Step 1
Given
[tex]\frac{2}{3},\frac{7}{8},\frac{1}{2}\text{ and }\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Required: To arrange them from smallest to largest.
Note: 0.5 = 1/2
Step 2
Find the lowest common multiple of the numbers in the denominator : 3,8,2 and 5
Hence, the lowest common multiple will be
[tex]2\times2\times2\times3\times5\text{ = 120}[/tex]
Step 3
Use the LCM to arrange the numbers as seen below
From the numbers gotten from using the LCM, we can now conclude
Step 4
Arrange them from smallest to largest
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{From the size of the numbers related to the image above,} \\ 80->\frac{2}{3},\text{ 105}\to\frac{7}{8},\text{ 60}\to\frac{1}{2},\text{ 48}\to\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]
We can arrange them as follows
[tex]\frac{2}{5},\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
