Question

Arrange the following fractions in ascending order.

$\frac{1}{10},\frac{5}{10},$ and $\frac{10}{10}$

• A. $\frac{1}{10}<\frac{5}{10}<\frac{10}{10}$
• B. $\frac{1}{10}>\frac{5}{10}>\frac{10}{10}$
• C. $\frac{1}{10}>\frac{10}{10}>\frac{5}{10}$
• D. $\frac{10}{10}<\frac{1}{10}<\frac{5}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{10}<\frac{5}{10}<\frac{10}{10}$

• All the given fractions have the same denominator, which is $10.$
• We know, when the denominators are the same, then the fraction with a smaller numerator is smaller.
• So, the ascending order of the given fractions is:
  
  $\frac{1}{10}<\frac{5}{10}<\frac{10}{10}$

Hence, option A is correct.
