Four short fraction tasks: order four fractions smallest first, convert 1/4 to a decimal, convert 1/5 to a percentage, and subtract 5/8 from 1.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Part (a) · 1 mark

Arrange 1/6, 1/10, 3/4 and 1/2 from smallest to largest.

  1. 1The fractions are 1/6, 1/10, 3/4, 1/2
  2. 2Write each one over the common denominator 60
  3. 31/6 = 10/60, 1/10 = 6/60, 3/4 = 45/60, 1/2 = 30/60
  4. 4In order of size: 6/60, 10/60, 30/60, 45/60
  5. 5So the order is 1/10, 1/6, 1/2, 3/4

Answer1/10, 1/6, 1/2, 3/4

Part (b) · 1 mark

Express 1/4 in decimal form.

  1. 11 ÷ 4 = 0.25

Answer0.25

Part (c) · 1 mark

Express 1/5 as a percentage.

  1. 11 ÷ 5 = 0.2
  2. 20.2 × 100 = 20%

Answer20%

Part (d) · 1 mark

Calculate 1 minus 5/8.

  1. 11 − 5/8 = 8/8 − 5/8
  2. 28/8 − 5/8 = 3/8

Answer3/8
