To compare the lengths of fabric needed, we can convert all measurements into fractions or decimals to make them easier to compare.
1. Fabric A: 3 7/8 yards is equal to \( 3 + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{24}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{31}{8} \) yards or approximately 3.875 yards.
2. Fabric B: 3 1/5 yards is equal to \( 3 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{16}{5} \) yards or approximately 3.2 yards.
3. Fabric C: 9/3 yards is equal to 3 yards.
Now let's compare the decimal equivalents:
- Fabric A: 3.875 yards
- Fabric B: 3.2 yards
- Fabric C: 3 yards
Now, ordering these from least to greatest:
1. Fabric C: 3 yards
2. Fabric B: 3.2 yards
3. Fabric A: 3.875 yards
So, the order of the fabrics from least to greatest is C, B, A.
The correct response is:
**d. C, B,
