There are two methods you can use to order (النظام) fractions you can 1) Draw a Picture or 2) use the Least Common Denominator (LCD).
Method 1: Draw a Picture Smallest to Largest
Method 2: Use LCD to write fractions in DESCENDING ORDER Step 1: Find the LCM of the denominators 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48… 12: 12, 24, 36, 48 … 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 … LCD = 36
Step 2: Write equivalent fractions. x 6 x 3 6 21 36 36 x 6 x 3 x 4 20 36 x 4
Step 3: Compare the numerators and write in descending order 21 6 Now you’re ready!! 36 36 20 36 Greatest to Least
