Least common multiple of denominators 4, 16, 12 and 3 is 48.
Write the fractions so that their denominator is 48.
3 / 4 = 3 ∙ 12 / 4 ∙ 12 = 36 / 48
5 / 16 = 5 ∙ 3 / 16 ∙ 3 = 15 / 48
7 / 12 = 7 ∙ 4 / 12 ∙ 4 = 28 / 48
1 / 3 = 1 ∙ 16 / 3 ∙ 16 = 16 / 48
Order from least value to greatest value:
15 / 48 , 16 / 48 , 28 / 48 , 36 / 48
5 / 6 , 1 / 3 , 7 / 12 , 3 / 4
