3) Sort the following fractions in ascending order: 

⁷/₈, ⁹/₁₀, ¹⁶/₂₀

1. ⁹/₁₀, ⁷/₈, ¹⁶/₂₀
2. ⁷/₈, ⁹/₁₀, ¹⁶/₂₀
3. ¹⁶/₂₀, ⁷/₈, ⁹/₁₀
4. ⁷/₈, ¹⁶/₂₀, ⁹/₁₀

Ascending order means from least to greatest in value. If you convert each to a decimal, it's easier to see how they line up. 16/20 is .80, 7/8 is 0.875, and 9/10 is 0.90, thus option 3 is the correct answer.
