It might have been possible to answer the question if there had been any fractions in the question. However, thanks to shortcomings of the browser used by Answers.com for posting questions, no fractions can be seen.
Change them into fractions over 10 or 100 and then order them
7/10 < 7/9 < 7/8
equivalent fractions for 5/10 = 1/2, 10/20, 15/30,...
10 gallons divided by 17 people answer in fractions = 0.5882352941176471
Least to greatest: 7/10, 7/9, 7/8
Step 1: Write the numbers, in the order you have them, as fractions: 3/10, 1/7 and 1/4 Step 2: Write the denominators (bottom bits of these fractions) IN ORDER: 10, 7 and 4 Step 3: Multiply each numerator (top bit of the fraction) by the other denominators of all the other fractions: so 3*7*4, 1*10*4 and 1*10*7 which are 84, 40 and 70. Step 4: Order these and transfer the order to the original numbers. So the order is 40 (second position), 70 (third position), 84 (first position) The fractions in increasing are 1/7 , 1/4 and 3/10 In fact the three fractions are: 3/10 = 84/280, 40/280 and 70/280 but it is simpler to work without the "/280"

How would i know dude gosh
7/10 < 7/9 < 7/8
fractions of 10 = 10/1, 20/2, 30/3, 40/4,...
fractions for 10 = 10/1, 20/2, 30/3, 40/4, 50/5,...
equivalent fractions for 5/10 = 1/2, 10/20, 15/30,...
There are 3 ways this can be solved:Convert the fraction to decimalsBy dividing the numerators by the denominators you get the decimal of each fraction; they can then be sorted by the decimals. 1/10 = 0.101/9 = 0.11...1/7 = 0.14....1/3 = 0.33...1/4 = 0.25So in increasing order, the decimals (and hence fractions) are:0.10, 0.11..., 0.14..., 0.25, 0.33...1/10, 1/9, 1/7, 1/4, 1/3(The three dots are to show that the decimals continue past what I've written which was enough to do the comparison.)Convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominatorOnce the denominators are the same the numerators can be used to order the fractions. The best denominator is the LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of all the denominators; multiplying all the denominators together will also work, but this could lead to larger fractions to work with. LCM(10, 9, 7, 3, 4) = 12601/10 = 126/12601/9 = 140/12601/7 = 180/12601/3 = 420/12601/4 = 315/1260So in increasing order, the fractions are:126/1260, 140/1260, 180/1260, 315/1260, 420/12601/10, 1/9, 1/7, 1/4, 1/3Make use of the fact that all the numerators are the sameAs all the numerators are the same, a straight comparison between the denominators will work - the larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction. Therefore from smallest to largest: 1/10, 1/.9, 1/7, 1/4, 1/3
The answer is...Similar fractions are fractions that has the same Denominator.Example:1/6+4/6Dissimilar fractions are fractions with different Denominator.Example:6/12-9/10
