You can put this solution on YOUR website! To arrange fractions from least to greatest you have two options:(1) compare them two at a time or (2) find a common denominator. Our fractions were:
2/3, 5/8, and 7/11.
common denominator is 3*8*11.
Once you have common denominator, change the numerators. We get: the fractions become 2(88)/3*8*11 , 5(33)/3*8*11, 7(21)/3*8*11.
Now 2*88 = 176, 5*33 = 165 and 7*21 = 147.
In order from least to greatest, we then get:
7/11 , 5/8, 2/3.
