Put these in order from least to greatest: 13/16, 5/8, 3/16, 3/4, 7/8.
If you convert each to decimals or 16ths, the order will become very clear.

To put these fractions in order from least to greatest, we need to compare their numerical values. Here's how you can do it:
1. Convert all the fractions to have the same denominator. In this case, the simplest common denominator is 16. Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the appropriate number to get a denominator of 16.
- 13/16 remains the same.
- 5/8 becomes 10/16 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 2).
- 3/16 remains the same.
- 3/4 becomes 12/16 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 4).
- 7/8 becomes 14/16 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 2).
So now we have: 13/16, 10/16, 3/16, 12/16, 14/16.
2. Now that all the fractions have the same denominator, we compare their numerators.
- 3/16 is the smallest numerator.
- Next, we have 10/16.
- Then, 12/16.
- Followed by 13/16.
- Finally, the largest numerator is 14/16.
Putting it all together, the fractions in order from least to greatest are: 3/16, 10/16, 12/16, 13/16, 14/16.
You can also express them as decimals to better visualize the order: 0.1875, 0.625, 0.75, 0.8125, 0.875.
