Least to greatest: 11/15, 13/30, 0.4

common denominator is 30:   

111522=2230

1330

0.4=41033=1230

So least to greatest  1230=0.41330, 2230=1115

To make it easier for you. Try to convert them into the same type of numbers. 

TO make a fraction into a demical, just divide the numerator with the denominator.

1115=0.7333333333333333

(11÷15)

1330=0.4333333333333333

(13÷30)

And 0.4

So...

It would be 0.4,1330,1115

Thanks Takahiro, that is a good answer

 

I'm going to try and look at it a bit differently.

11/15, 13/30, 0.4

now half of 15 is 7.5 so 11/15 is more than a half.  

half of 30 is 15 so 13/30 is just a bit less than a half 

0.4 is less than a half

so the BIGGEST one is 11/15

Now 0.4 is 4/10 and 4/10 of 30 is 3*4=12    so 4/10 = 12/30   

so  0.4 is less than 13/30

so

0.4, 13/30, 11/15

 

If you have a calculator then Takahiros way is easiest.

but I did mine without a calculator.
