Respuesta :

Answer:

4 7/8,  5 3/16 and 5 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

It will be easy to arrange them in order if we change all the fractions to one with a denominator of 16.

5 3/4  = 5 12/16       ( multiplying by 4/4).

4 7/8 = 4 14/16.       (multiplying by 2/2).

The third item is 5 3/16 long.

So we see that the list is  4 7/8, 5 3/16 and 5 3/4.
