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.
