Question

Arrange the fractions in ascending order.

$\frac{2}{9}$, $\frac{8}{9}$, $\frac{6}{9}$, $\frac{7}{9}$

Answer 1

Two or more fractions are said to be like fractions if they have same denominator. For like fraction, the fraction with the greater numerator is greater.

Here, the given fractions are $\frac{2}{9}$, $\frac{8}{9}$, $\frac{6}{9}$ and $\frac{7}{9}$. Since, denominators of all the fractions is $9$. Therefore the fractions are like fractions and hence the fraction with greater numerator is greater. Arranging the fractions in ascending order, we have

$\frac{2}{9}$$<$$\frac{6}{9}$$<$$\frac{7}{9}$$<$$\frac{8}{9}$
