Answer:

3/8, 2/5, 11/20, 23/40, 7/10, 3/4

Explanation:

Just change them all to the same denominator and you're good. Put all of the fractions' denominators to 40 as that's the least common denominator. 3/4 turns into 30/40. 2/5 turns into 16/40. 3/8 turns into 15/40. 7/10 turns into 28/40. 11/20 turns into 22/40. And 23/40 stays as it is, because the denominator is already 40.

Putting them in order is now simple,

3/8 (15/40) < 2/5 (16/40) < 11/20 (22/40) < 23/40 < 7/10 (28/40) < 3/4 (30/40)

***When you multiply any fraction to change its denominator, multiply it by the same thing to the numerator as well.

Good Luck!
