P.S - The exact question is -

Given - Sophia buys an apple that weighs 0.45 pound, a grapefruit that weighs
`(3)/(4)` pound, a navel orange that weighs
`(5)/(8)` pound, and a pear that weighs 0.5 pound.

To find - What is the order of the fruit from least weight to the greatest weight ?

Proof -

Weight of apple = 0.45 pound

Weight of grapefruit =
`(3)/(4)` pound = 0.75 pound

Weight of navel orange =
`(5)/(8)` pound = 0.625 pound

Weight of a pear = 0.5 pound

As,

0.45 < 0.5 < 0.625 < 0.75

So, The order of fruit from least to greatest weight is -

Apple , pear, navel orange, grapefruit
