Ibrahim Rowe · Answer 2

What you would need to do to compare these fractions would be to change them so they share a common denominator. The easiest way to do this is to find the lowest common denominator. For these fractions, it would be 40.

3/4 becomes 30/40

7/8 becomes 35/40

1/5 becomes 8/40

So if you were to order them least to greatest it would come out to:

1/5, 3/4, 7/8
