Order the fractions and mixed numbers in ascending order: 32,114,114,278\frac{3}{2}, \frac{11}{4}, 1 \frac{1}{4}, 2 \frac{7}{8}

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are asked to arrange the given values in ascending order. . The given values are 3\frac{3}{}, 114\frac{11}{4}, 1141 \frac{1}{4}, and 78 \frac{7}{8}.

STEP 2

To compare the numbers easily, we need to convert all the given values into the same format. Let's convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.
The conversion from a mixed fraction to an improper fraction can be done using the formulaImproper Fraction=Whole Number×Denominator+umerator\text{Improper Fraction} = \text{Whole Number} \times \text{Denominator} + \text{umerator}

STEP 3

Convert 111 \frac{1}{} into an improper fraction.
11=1×+1=51 \frac{1}{} =1 \times +1 = \frac{5}{}

STEP 4

Convert 2782 \frac{7}{8} into an improper fraction.
278=2×8+7=2382 \frac{7}{8} =2 \times8 +7 = \frac{23}{8}

STEP 5

Now we have all the fractions in the same format 32\frac{3}{2}, 114\frac{11}{4}, 54\frac{5}{4}, and 238\frac{23}{8}.

STEP 6

To compare these fractions, it's easier if they all have the same denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of2,4,4, and8 is8.

STEP 7

Convert each fraction to have the LCD as the denominator.For 32\frac{3}{2}, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by4 to get 12\frac{12}{}.

STEP 8

For 114\frac{11}{4}, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by2 to get 228\frac{22}{8}.

STEP 9

For 54\frac{5}{4}, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by2 to get 8\frac{}{8}.

STEP 10

Now we have all the fractions with the same denominator 128\frac{12}{8}, 228\frac{22}{8}, 108\frac{10}{8}, and 238\frac{23}{8}.

STEP 11

Arrange these fractions in ascending order by comparing their numerators.
The ascending order is 108\frac{10}{8}, 8\frac{}{8}, 228\frac{22}{8}, and 238\frac{23}{8}.

STEP 12

Convert these fractions back to their original form.
108\frac{10}{8} is 4 \frac{}{4}, 128\frac{12}{8} is 2\frac{}{2}, 228\frac{22}{8} is 114\frac{11}{4}, and 238\frac{23}{8} is 2782 \frac{7}{8}.
So, the ascending order of the given values is 4 \frac{}{4}, 2\frac{}{2}, 114\frac{11}{4}, and 2782 \frac{7}{8}.
