1. The problem involves comparing and understanding fractions placed in a 3x3 grid. 2. We will analyze each fraction, simplify where possible, and compare their values. 3. The fractions given are: (a) \frac{4}{5}, (b) \frac{2}{5}, (c) \frac{1}{10}, \frac{2}{5}, 1, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{4}{2}. 4. Simplify \frac{4}{2} = 2. 5. Now the fractions are: \frac{4}{5}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{10}, \frac{2}{5}, 1, \frac{3}{10}, 2. 6. To compare, convert all to decimals: - \frac{4}{5} = 0.8 - \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 - \frac{1}{10} = 0.1 - \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 - 1 = 1.0 - \frac{3}{10} = 0.3 - 2 = 2.0 7. Order from smallest to largest: 0.1, 0.3, 0.4, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0, 2.0. 8. This helps understand the relative sizes of the fractions in the grid. Final answer: The fractions in ascending order are \frac{1}{10}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{4}{5}, 1, 2.
