Answer:

The sorted inputs in order from least to greatest is:

3/21 < 3/15 < 3/11 < 3/8 < 3/7

Explanation:

Using the given inputs:

3/15 3/7 3/21 3/8 3/11

As the least common denominator (LCD) is: 9240

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:

3/15 3/7 3/21 3/8 3/11

1848/9240 3960/9240 1320/9240 3465/9240 2520/9240

Sorting this table by the numerators of the equivalent fractions in order from least to greatest:

3/21 3/15 3/11 3/8 3/7

1320/9240 < 1848/9240 < 2520/9240 < 3465/9240 < 3960/9240

Therefore, the sorted inputs in order from least to greatest is:

3/21 < 3/15 < 3/11 < 3/8 < 3/7
