Question

Convert the fractions to decimal form and arrange them in ascending order.

• A. $\frac{4}{5}$
• B. $\frac{2}{5}$
• C. $\frac{1}{5}$
• D. $\frac{1}{4}$
• E. $\frac{4}{8}$

Answer 1

Here we will convert fraction to decimal:

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{4\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{8}{10}=0.8$

$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{4}{10}=0.4$

$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{2}{10}=0.2$

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1\times 25}{4\times 25}=\frac{25}{100}=0.25$

$\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times 5}{2\times 5}=\frac{5}{10}=0.5$

So , we can see that $0.2<0.25<0.4<0.5<0.8$
i.e., $\frac{1}{5}<\frac{1}{4}<\frac{2}{5}<\frac{4}{8}<\frac{4}{5}$
