B.
25, 47, 611

C.
47, 611, 25

D.

1 answer

To compare the fractions \( \frac{25}{1} \), \( \frac{611}{1} \), and \( \frac{47}{1} \), we can convert them simply to decimals for easier comparison.

  1. \( \frac{25}{1} = 25.0 \)
  2. \( \frac{611}{1} = 611.0 \)
  3. \( \frac{47}{1} = 47.0 \)

Now, we can list them from least to greatest based on their decimal values:

  • 25.0 (Maddie)
  • 47.0 (Ella)
  • 611.0 (Jamon)

So, from least to greatest, the order is \( 25, 47, 611 \).

The correct option is B. 25, 47, 611.
