1/2 is less thn 2/3

answer is x is 2

Answer:

Take x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The numbers are [tex]\frac{1}{x},\frac{x}{3},0.8[/tex].

We need to find the value of x such that they are ordered from the least to the greatest.

Let us take, x = 2.

So, we get,

[tex]\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{3}=\frac{2}{3}=0.6[/tex]

As, 0.5 < 0.6 < 0.8.

Thus, taking x = 2 gives the desired result.
