Answer:

D)

Explanation:

The greater the value on top (numerator) is to the bottom number (denominator), the bigger the fraction. If you are unsure between two numbers, convert them to decimals (divide numerator by denominator) and compare.

Convert all these fractions to decimals and arrange from least to greatest, as the question asks for:

2/13 (0.153846...), 5/9 (0.555...), 4/7 (0.571428...), 5/8 (0.625).

The answer that matches this pattern is D, so that is the correct answer.
