Find the decimal value of the fractions and put them in ascending order

Explanation:

Example :

Say you have 4 fractions : $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ , $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$ . $\frac{1}{4}$ $1/4$ , $\frac{1}{10}$ $1/10$

Decimal values :

$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$ $1/2 = 0.5$
$\frac{1}{3} = 0.333$ $1/3 = 0.333$
$\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$ $1/4 = 0.25$
$\frac{1}{10} = 0.1$ $1/10 = 0.1$

In the order of the fractions in ascending order is : $\frac{1}{10}$ $1/10$ , $\frac{1}{4}$ $1/4$ , $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$ , $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$
