Respuesta :

C. 1/4, 3/8, 2/5


Rewriting as fractions if necessary:

3/8, 1/4, 2/5

The least common denominator (LCD) is:40.

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:

15/40, 10/40, 16/40

Ordering these fractions by the numerator in order from least to greatest:

10/40 < 15/40 < 16/40

Therefore, your input in order from least to greatest is:

1/4 < 3/8 < 2/5
