Without doing any computing, order the following from least to greatest.
Explain your reasoning.
2/3 + 3/4 2/3 3/4 2/3 x 3/4 2/3 ÷ 3/4

Hi LALABUBU;
Welcome to the forum!
Right off you know that 2/3 + 3/4 is greater than 1
2/3 - 3/4 is less than 0 so it is the smallest.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
