5/11, 3/7, 4/9, 13/30, 17/39 if these fractions are arranged from least to greatest, which will be the third?
5/11, 3/7, 4/9, 13/30, 17/39 if these fractions are arranged from least to greatest, which will be the third ?
I. decimal: $$\small{\text{
1. $ \frac{ 3 }{ 7 } = 0.429 \quad $
2. $ \frac{13}{30 } = 0.4\overline{3} \quad $
3. $ \frac{17}{39} = 0.4359 \quad $
4. $ \frac{4}{9 } = 0.\overline{4} \quad $
5. $ \frac{ 5}{11} = 0.\overline{45} \quad $
}}$$
II. fraction:
$$\small{\text{
1. $ \frac{ 3 }{ 7 } = \frac{38619}{90090} \quad $
2. $ \frac{13}{30 } = \frac{39039}{90090} \quad $
3. $ \frac{17}{39} = \frac{39270}{90090} \quad $
4. $ \frac{4}{9 } = \frac{40040}{90090} \quad $
5. $ \frac{ 5}{11} = \frac{40950}{90090} $

Well there are different methods
They are all quite close in value and all less than a half.
It is probably easiest to change them into decimals using a calculator and then compare the decimal answers.
5/11, 3/7, 4/9, 13/30, 17/39
$$\frac{ 3 }{ 7 } < \frac{13}{30 } < \frac{17}{39} < \frac{4}{9 } < \frac{ 5}{11}$$
17/39 will be the third
