Final answer:

Mathematics, particularly in a middle school setting, often includes exercises on ordering fractions or numbers. To compare and order fractions, they can be converted into decimals or a common denominator can be found. Once converted, the numbers are arranged from the smallest to the largest value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Mathematics, specifically dealing with ordering numbers, which is a common topic in middle school math. To order fractions from least to greatest, we need to compare them by finding a common denominator or converting them to decimals. Since the fractions in the question were unclear, I'll instead explain how to order a set of numbers and provide an example using different data.

  • First, list all numbers and convert them into a common form, either fractions or decimals.
  • Next, compare the numbers to determine which are larger or smaller.
  • Finally, rewrite the numbers in ascending order from the smallest to the largest value.

For example, if we have the numbers 2/3, 1/4, and 3/8, we convert them to decimals to get approximately 0.67, 0.25, and 0.375. Ordering these from least to greatest, we'd have 1/4, 3/8, and 2/3.
