Order the fractions from least to greatest 3/6, 5/6, 1

They are already in order from least to greatest

Explanation:

Using a calculator, find that

3/6 = 0.500

5/6 = 0.833 approximately

So we see that 3/6 is smaller than 5/6 just by comparing the decimal values 0.500 and 0.833

So this means 3/6 < 5/6

Proof of that without using a calculator:

3/6 < 5/6 ... original statement

3*6 < 6*5 ... cross multiply

18 < 30 ... simplify

The last inequality is true, so the first one is true. Both of these fractions are smaller than 1.

So the proper order is 3/6, 5/6, 1 which is the exact order in which the values are presented originally.

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
