Question

Which shows the fractions in increasing order?

five-twelfths, one-eighth, three-eighths, seven-twelfths

seven-twelfths, five-twelfths, three-eighths, one-eighth

seven-twelfths, one-eighth, five-twelfths, three-eighths

one-eighth, three-eighths, five-twelfths, seven-twelfths

Answer 1

The easiest thing would be to convert each fraction to decimals to see if it is increasing all the way or not.
You can already rule out #2, because 7/12 is larger than 5/12, and yet it is before it in the list
