Answer 2

D) d,c,a,b

Explanation:

To arrange the fractions in the order requested we have to express them to a common denominator . This is done by finding the Least common multiple of the denominators. Thus, the fractions,7/3, 8/2, 2/1,6/5, the L.C.M of the denominators is 30 thus lets divide the L.C.M by the denominator of each number then multiply with the numerator.

7/3=70/30

8/2=120/30

2/1=60/30

6/5=36/30

thus from the least to the largest we arrange them as follows 6/5, 2/1, 7/3 then 8/2
