Place these fractions in order from least to greatest:

\(\frac{14}{25}\), \(\frac{29}{50}\), \(\frac{53}{100}\), \(\frac{13}{20}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\)

The easiest way to do this would be to first convert each fraction to have a common denominator. Out of all 5 denominators, it would be easiest to convert them to 100.
53/100 is good already. 29/50 ⇒58/100, as 50x2=100, 29x2=58 3/5 ⇒ 60/100, as 5x20=100, 3x20=60 13/20 ⇒ 65/100, as 20x5=100, 13x5=65 14/25 ⇒ 56/100, as 25x4=100, 14x4=56
Now that we have our new fractions, we can order them!
53/100, 56/100, 58/100, 60/100, 65/100
Let's use our original fractions to give the proper answer: 53/100, 14/25, 29/50, 3/5, 13/20
