Question

level 157
which shows these numbers in order from greatest to least?
\\(\frac{1}{6}\\), \\(\frac{5}{6}\\), \\(\frac{3}{6}\\), \\(\frac{2}{6}\\)
select an answer
a \\(\frac{1}{6}\\), \\(\frac{2}{6}\\), \\(\frac{3}{6}\\), \\(\frac{5}{6}\\)
b \\(\frac{5}{6}\\), \\(\frac{2}{6}\\), \\(\frac{1}{6}\\), \\(\frac{3}{6}\\)
c \\(\frac{5}{6}\\), \\(\frac{3}{6}\\), \\(\frac{2}{6}\\), \\(\frac{1}{6}\\)
d \\(\frac{2}{6}\\), \\(\frac{3}{6}\\), \\(\frac{1}{6}\\), \\(\frac{5}{6}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the fractions

The fractions are \(\frac{1}{6}\), \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{3}{6}\), \(\frac{2}{6}\). Since they have the same denominator, we compare the numerators. Larger numerator means larger fraction.

Step2: Order numerators from greatest to least

The numerators are 1, 5, 3, 2. Ordering them from greatest to least: 5, 3, 2, 1. So the fractions in order from greatest to least are \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{3}{6}\), \(\frac{2}{6}\), \(\frac{1}{6}\).

Answer:

C. \(\boldsymbol{\frac{5}{6},\frac{3}{6},\frac{2}{6},\frac{1}{6}}\)
