B, A, C

C, B, A

B, C, A

A, C, B

Answer 1

To find the order of the yards needed for each fabric from least to greatest, we need to first convert each measurement to a decimal or a comparable fraction.

1. **Fabric A:** 7/8 yards = 0.875 yards
2. **Fabric B:** 1/5 yards = 0.2 yards
3. **Fabric C:** 9/3 yards = 3 yards

Now let's compare the decimal values:

- Fabric B: 0.2 yards
- Fabric A: 0.875 yards
- Fabric C: 3 yards

Now we can order them from least to greatest:

1. B (0.2 yards)
2. A (0.875 yards)
3. C (3 yards)

Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is:

**B, A, C**

The answer is: **B, A, C**.
