Answer:

5/16 < 0.5 < 25/48 < 0.75

Explanation:

Using the given inputs:

5/16 25/48 0.75 0.5

Rewriting these inputs as decimals:

5/16 25/48 0.75 0.5

0.3125 0.520833 0.75 0.5

Sorting this table by decimal values in order from least to greatest:

5/16 0.5 25/48 0.75

0.3125 < 0.5 < 0.520833 < 0.75

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

5/16 < 0.5 < 25/48 < 0.75
