Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the common denominator, in this case 48. Divide 48 by each denominator and multiply that answer to the numerator. You get (48/16)x5, (48/12)x5 and (48/8)x3. So, 3x5, 4x5, and 5x5. So, 15,20, and 25. Then put these over your new common denominator of 48. So you get 15/48, 20/48, and 25/48. Then you can just order them like this, 15/48,20/48,25/48.

Easiest way: Another way is just to type each into your calculator and put the decimals in order of greatest to smallest. So divide 5 by 16. 5 by 12. And 3 by 8.

5/16=.3125

5/12=.4166

3/8=.375.

Then put in order.
