Answer:

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

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite all the fractions listed as decimal numbers:


(2)/(5)=0.400


(1)/(4)=0.250


(3)/(8)=0.375

So the correct order from least to greatest should be

0.250, 0.375, 0.400

Which corresponds in fractional form to

1/4, 3/8, 2/5

So the correct option is

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