Answer:


-(3)/(8) , -(3)/(16) , (7)/(4)

Explanation:

When looking at fractions, a larger denominator means that the numerator is divided by a larger amount, making it smaller. 7/4 is positive, so we already know it goes last. -3/16 has a larger denominator than -3/8, but in this case,
-(3)/(16) >-(3)/(8) because -3/16 is closer to zero. This means that in order, these fractions would be -3/8, -3/16, 7/4. Hope this was helpful.
