Juan's mother gave him a recipe for trail mix. 3/4 cup of cereal, 2/3 cup of almonds, 1/2 cup of raisins, 1/4 cup of peanuts

Order the ingredients used in the recipe from least to greatest

~Scarlett, 5th grader

In order to do that, you need to change it all into the same denominator. The denominator would be 12. 3/4 is 9/12; 2/3 is 8/12; 1/2 is 6/12; and 1/4 is 3/12. From least to greatest, since all the fractions now have the same denominators, you look at the top numbers and decide. 3 is the less, the comes 6, 8, and 9. Your answer would be 1/4, 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4.

3/4 = 9/12

2/3 = 8/12

1/2 = 6/12

1/4 = 3/12

Answer: 1/4, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4
